Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Paella party catering in Becontree Heath, made fresh on the day
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater family get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties.
Most parties in Becontree Heath are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a photo of the garden. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

What else we do in Becontree Heath
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Becontree Heath is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- 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.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have bins ready
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
We’re set up before guests arrive, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Why choose live paella in Becontree Heath?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us

Becontree Heath: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Becontree Heath?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
We are having a ceremony at Hartley Brook Church: 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.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How many different paellas?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
