Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.

What affects the price in Lillingstone Lovell
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The courses you’d like
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
