DIY paella versus live catering
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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is often the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters frequently try it too.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Bexley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How we price paella party catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Is live paella right for your party?
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Catering across Greater London, including Bexley
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
