Live paella or other catering?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
Take a look at How we price Or What paella catering costs.
What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Step by step
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 we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Haine until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
