DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Questions from Northchapel
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station should guests use for Northchapel?
The closest is Haslemere station, roughly 4 miles away.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What paella party catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Travel, parking and access
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- What the venue already provides
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, it is light in Northchapel until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
