Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
- Anything your venue supplies
- Which courses you have in mind
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
Popular choices

Is live paella right for your wedding?

Should I cook it myself?
