What affects the price in Bulverhythe
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your party in Bulverhythe, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
What’s in the pans
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more while the paella cooks.
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels, for the fish lovers.
Bulverhythe: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at St Ethelburga's Church Mission Hall: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Bulverhythe from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Usually. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Bulverhythe stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve, then clear our area.
How to prepare
