Read Our pricing And What paella catering costs.
How we price paella party catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

Common questions in Waddesdon
We are having a ceremony at St Michael and All Angels' Church: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Waddesdon?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
