- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Guest numbers
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 you book.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Drinks service on request
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, it’s light in Wrotham Heath until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
