How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Guest numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Why choose live paella in East Anton?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
