DIY paella versus live catering

What else we do in Eastbury
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Eastbury: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in King George V Playing Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
We’re having a ceremony at Emmanuel Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
How do you work out quantities?
That depends on their role in the meal. We’ll suggest quantities for your event.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
