What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Common questions in Perivale
Is parking a problem for events in Perivale?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Castle Bar Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We’ll check availability straight away.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
