How we price paella party catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Common questions in Goldsworth Park
Could we have live paella in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How far is Goldsworth Park from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
