What paella party catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Whether you need crockery
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if you can
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Give separate numbers for children
