What paella party catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- What the venue already provides
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if you can
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your party, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Live paella or other catering?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

For a late-May party in Clement Street, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Your questions about paella party catering in Clement Street
Could we have live paella in Dartford Heath?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is Clement Street close to London?
Roughly 14 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
