Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why Cambridge Heath hosts choose us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
FAQs for Cambridge Heath
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Cambridge Heath?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Could we have live paella in Haggerston Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
It’s one of the quickest hot foods to serve, ideal for peak times.

How we price festival paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
- Roughly how many adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
