Take a look at How we price And Our guide to catering costs.
How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many courses
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
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
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
Common questions in Harringay
What about parking in Harringay?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Can you cook in Chestnuts Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
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 at a hired venue?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Sunset in Harringay is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Have a level space ready for the pans
