Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a late-May party in Toy's Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
