What paella party catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The paellas you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Adstock questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Cecilia: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Adstock?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
What’s in the pans
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, ideal for guests who skip seafood.
