How we price paella party catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the space, if you can
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Denmark Hill: your questions answered
Can you cook in Brunswick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Denmark Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is generally the best advert for the party.
How much paella per person?
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.
How early should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we’ll check.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
