Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.

Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

What paella party catering costs
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The courses you’d like
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d cook
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. A summer party in Twyford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
