DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Paella compared with other options
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Upperton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
