Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Live paella or other catering?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. 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 affects the price in Ansteadbrook
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything your venue supplies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Room for our cooking and serving area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
