Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Sangria & bar staff
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Evening paella
- Dessert
- Table tapas
- Canapé tapas
Should I cook it myself?
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in Stubbington is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
