Live paella or other catering?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
