Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Is my garden big enough?

Often, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we will check.

What affects the price in Emberton

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • How many courses
  • How long we are needed on site

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 we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Where the event is
  • Diets and allergies you know about

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Can I cook paella for a crowd 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.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

How it works

On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a late-May party in Emberton, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
  • Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
  • Give the neighbours a heads-up
  • Give separate numbers for children

We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.

Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

What we need at the venue

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

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. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Why us?

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
