What affects the price in Mayfair
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- How long we are needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d cook
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Count adults and children separately
- Have enough chairs for most guests
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
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. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
FAQs for Mayfair
Could we have live paella in Green Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What’s the nearest station to Mayfair for guests?
Mayfair has its own station: Bond Street station.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Mayfair is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
