How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a late-May party in Silver Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day

- Let us know the timings for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

What paella party catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests are eating
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your party, and we will make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Count adults and children separately
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- Drinks service on request
- A quote that spells everything out
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
