Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
What affects the price in Styants Bottom
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The address or venue name
