Choosing a paella caterer

Prices and what affects them

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Timings and hours
  • Your choice of paellas
  • How many guests are eating
  • Whether you need crockery

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Details that help

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • The date and time of the event
  • A picture of where we’d cook

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Olney

How far is Olney from London?

About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.

How do you work out quantities?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Can you invoice the company?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

What paperwork do you have?

Send us the venue’s requirements.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

How the day works

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a Christmas party in Olney, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
