Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of paellas
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we’re needed on site
- Guest numbers
There’s 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.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. For a Christmas party in Orchard Leigh, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
