Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- A clear, itemised quote

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and unloading
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Broyle Side, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.

Organising a club, school or community event in Broyle Side? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, timed for after the first dance.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
