Live paella catering in Seer Green
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- Travel, parking and access
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How our paella catering works in Seer Green
Paella is generous food: huge pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It makes the food an event in itself. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and paella Valenciana, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving parties and staff parties and work lunches.
For a rural spot like Seer Green, the countryside is part of the appeal: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Tell us about access and the ground. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

The menu, dish by dish
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, cooked until the rice is golden. It’s the pan people photograph.
How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Evenings in Seer Green stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- We cook live on the day while guests watch.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Planning help
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Count adults and children separately
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Confirm allergies by email
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Tapas or canapés make a good start while the paella cooks.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, paella makes vegetarian, vegan and halal guests easier to cater for, because each paella has its own pan. It is served quickly from the pan, so queues move. 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.

FAQs for Seer Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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 Seer Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What does paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cook inside?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
