DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
North Finchley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
- How many guests are eating
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
