How we price paella party catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

FAQs for Cadmore End
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Le Moor: 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.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
What does paella party catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Is live paella right for your party?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there is no host stuck at the grill. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Cadmore End is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.

- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.

- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
