Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Waiting and bar staff
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.

Paella compared with other options
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out in a food line-up. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

About the dishes
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid for fish lovers.
Giant paella pans
It’s the huge pan people come to see.
How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For an evening event in Goosey, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or SN7 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
