What paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The courses you’d like
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- What the venue already provides
- The date and rough timings
Send us the date, your venue or UB7 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Sipson is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Mention any other courses or food
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
A short rest after cooking helps, and that is when we invite guests up.
We can add sangria and bar staff for your own drinks.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
