Paella party catering in Aspley Guise, cooked live
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. We cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and family get-togethers.
A country party near Aspley Guise is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
There is 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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- What the venue already provides
- Your date and when you want to eat

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Live paella or other catering?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you’re a guest too. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have bins ready
- Tell us how many children are coming
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a late-May party in Aspley Guise, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
