Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Your choice of paellas
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat

How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in Steven's Crouch until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
