Paella compared with other options
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- What the venue already provides
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your party, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a late-May party in Wandsworth, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Tell us where to park and unload
