Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- The venue or postcode
- Anything your venue supplies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella is hard to beat. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in Stoke Newington 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.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Planning help
For event organisers in Stoke Newington
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
