For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Street End? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Street End until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the 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.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many courses
- Guest numbers
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
