Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- The courses you’d like
- Diets and allergies you know about
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Hook station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.

Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

When do you arrive?

What if photos overrun?

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. For a summer wedding in Rotherwick, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Name one person we can ask on the day

The menu, dish by dish
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
Desserts
To finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
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.
