Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
