How we price paella party catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Waiting and bar staff
Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
About our paella party catering in Sudbury
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work in and around Sudbury. Typical bookings include family reunions and garden get-togethers, with churros, tapas and mixed paella.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Warn the neighbours
Children love watching the paella cook.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Sudbury stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, 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.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Sudbury: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Andrew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Sudbury for guests?
Sudbury has its own station: Sudbury & Harrow Road station.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Sudbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
