Planning help
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What you get with us
- Drinks service on request
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we offer
- Drinks service
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Paella lunches
- Desserts

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
