What paella party catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- The paellas you choose
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The courses you’d like
- A photo of the space, if you can
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.

Your questions about paella party catering in Michelmersh
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Michelmersh from London?
About 69 miles from central London.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. Children typically love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
How far in advance should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
How much does paella party catering cost in Michelmersh?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
