Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Planning help
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Share your running order, including speeches
We typically set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
