- The number of people
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
About the dishes
Chicken & chorizo paella
It is one of the most popular pans at parties, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
Vegetable paella
A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Warblington until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
