How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Questions from Egerton
Is Egerton close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater in Egerton?
We do. We cook at events in Egerton and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How much does paella party catering cost in Egerton?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
