Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What affects the price in Hyde Heath
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- 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. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The courses you’d like
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
Send us the date, your venue or HP6 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
