- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.

- In goes the rice, and guests gather.

Do you come out to small places like Aldermaston?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
What does paella party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Live paella or other catering?
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you’re a guest too. 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.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
