Should I cook it myself?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Organising for someone else?

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Organising a club, school or community event in Three Ashes? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

Planning for every diet

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Keep children and pets away from the burners
  • Plan a covered spot for wet weather
  • Put out bins for general waste and recycling
  • Let the neighbours know

Children love watching the paella cook.

Add bread, salad and lemon.

How we price paella party catering

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Parking and unloading

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Expected numbers
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The venue or postcode
  • A picture of where we’d cook

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can fill in our quote form.

How it works

Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Three Ashes stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Send us your date, address and numbers.
  2. You get a menu and a quote.
  3. We set up before guests arrive.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve, then clear our area.

Preparing for the day

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
