Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Your questions about paella party catering in Great Rollright
Is Great Rollright close to London?
About 70 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Andrew: can you cater afterwards?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How far in advance should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you supply plates?
On request. Crockery or disposables are available.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
