How we price paella party catering
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Your choice of paellas

About the dishes
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels.
Chicken & chorizo paella
It is one of the most popular pans at parties.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For event organisers in Wolverton Common
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Warn the neighbours
- Give separate numbers for children
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
Children love watching the paella cook.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
