DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Paella party catering for your party in Spring Park
Add tapas to start, churros for afters and a jug of sangria, and the whole menu is sorted. Whether it is celebrations of life and garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and churros for your guests.
Throwing a party in Spring Park? Live paella means no cooking for you, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Tell us about parking permits. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
- How many guests are eating
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will put together a menu and price.
Why choose live paella in Spring Park?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. A summer party in Spring Park stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
