Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we are needed on site
- Your choice of paellas
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of where we’d cook
- What the venue already provides
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your party, and we will suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Your questions about paella party catering in Broadbridge
We’re having a ceremony at The United Reformed Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Broadbridge too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cover Broadbridge?
Yes, we do. Broadbridge is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Organising a club, school or community event in Broadbridge? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Planning for every diet

At food time, we serve straight from the pan.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella fits perfectly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- We cover Broadbridge and the whole of West Sussex
- A quote that spells everything out
- Real theatre, not just catering

- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
