DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

12 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • The number of people
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Margery: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Margery for guests?

Reigate station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.

Can you cook in Castle Grounds?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

It’s ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.

Do you do Christmas parties?

Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.

Planning for every diet

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:

  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

What happens on the day

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Margery, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
