Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot as soon as it is ready. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Real theatre, not just catering

What affects the price in Idbury
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Waiting and bar staff
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Anything your venue supplies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Facilities approval and any site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Bowl food
- Paella lunches
- Desserts
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Canapé tapas
- Drinks service
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Idbury have daylight until about 9:30pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
