Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- A quote that spells everything out
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

How we price paella party catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The paellas you choose
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- Anything your venue supplies
- Which courses you have in mind
- A picture of where we’d cook
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Warnford? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. At midsummer, it’s light in Warnford until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm 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.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
