How the day works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Brick Hill until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- First, we check availability.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- Hot and cold tapas are served.
- Afterwards, we clear up.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Where the event is
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
