What affects the price in Salehurst
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
