Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. At midsummer, it is light in Coombe until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.

What paella party catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
