Why choose live paella in Woolage Green?
If you want food that encourages guests to mingle, tapas work brilliantly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. Evening receptions in Woolage Green stay light until about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
