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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Is live paella right for your event?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
Ruislip Manor is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
