Paella party catering for Stonebridge Green events
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
- How many courses
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Stonebridge Green questions
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Stonebridge Green close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you come to Stonebridge Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Stonebridge Green is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. A summer party in Stonebridge Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.

- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
