What festival paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and rough timings
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.

Why choose live paella in Cackle Street?

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
