How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Evenings in Hythe End stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How we price paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many staff you need
- How many guests are eating
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Tell us what else is being served
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

Any staff you book serve and clear, so you can relax.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or serve your own cake.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about paella catering in Hythe End
We are having a ceremony at St John's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Hythe End close to London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How does live paella catering work?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook while everyone watches, and serve at the time you want.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Which paella is most popular?
Two or three is usual: chicken or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. See the sample menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
