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, so queues move quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

How we price festival paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. Evening events in Bromley have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
