Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
- Whether you need crockery
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
