What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Flat, firm ground
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

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. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of paellas
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
