Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. December events in South Leigh are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your work event in South Leigh, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Share the timings for food
We adapt if timings change.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
