12 questions to ask before you book

Is live paella right for your party?

Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What affects the price in Bexleyheath

Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • How many staff you need
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Guest numbers

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • The date and time of the event
  • The courses you’d like
  • Where the event is

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.

How it works

The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Bexleyheath stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Tell us when and where, and how many.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We arrive before your guests and set up.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.

Working with your venue

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

The menu, dish by dish

Vegetable paella

Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters frequently try it too.

Tapas

Tapas keep guests going.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
