How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d cook
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. A summer party in Jevington stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Count adults and children separately
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Plan seats for most guests
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
