What paella party catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of the space, if you can

How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Horsemere Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
