Paella compared with other options
Sandwich buffets are forgettable. Tapas feel like a treat. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests are eating
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Is Sedrup too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Are the tapas served hot?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
