Paella catering in Marbella

Paella at home: the pan comes to your party

Paella catering in Marbella is all about the moment the pan goes on the fire. We cook with bomba rice, real saffron, fresh fish and shellfish, and serve straight from the pan onto small plates so guests can keep standing and mingling.

You choose between paella de marisco, paella mixta or a vegetarian paella with seasonal vegetables. Allergies and dietary wishes are agreed in advance.

Where we cook paella and what you need

We cook paella in villa gardens on the Golden Mile, by pools in Nueva Andalucía, on terraces in Puerto Banús and at fincas towards San Pedro, Estepona and Mijas. A few square metres of outdoor space is enough.

We bring the paella pan, burner, gas, tableware and service staff, and clear everything away afterwards. You only arrange the guests.

Paella catering: types, portions and price

Paella catering costs €38 per person from 25 guests, including chef, service staff, tableware, setup and clean-up. You choose between paella de marisco with fish and shellfish, paella valenciana with chicken and vegetables, or a vegetarian version with artichoke, pepper and seasonal greens.

We cook with bomba rice and real saffron in pans of up to 120 portions. For larger groups we run several pans side by side, so everyone is served within ten minutes.

Around the paella we always serve a few tapas beforehand — pan con tomate, olives, gazpacho or prawns — so guests have something while the rice cooks.

Paella cooked live at your venue

The fire, the pan and the smell of saffron are part of the party. We set the cooking station where guests can see it: on the terrace, by the pool or in the garden. No professional kitchen is needed — power, water and space are enough.

Allow around 75 minutes from setup to serving. If you want to combine paella with walking bites first or a dessert round after, we adjust the timeline accordingly.

Ingredients: bomba rice, saffron and market produce

We cook with bomba rice, real saffron and a stock we make ourselves. Fish, shellfish and vegetables are bought fresh from suppliers in the Málaga region — you taste it in the pan.

Paella is naturally gluten-free. The vegetarian pan is prepared completely separately, with its own utensils. Always mention allergies in your request so we can take them into account from the purchasing stage.

Paella for groups from 25 to 150 guests

The concept scales easily: for larger groups we cook with several pans and extra chefs at once, so everyone has a warm portion within about ten minutes. From around forty guests you can also combine two flavours, for example marisco and valenciana.

The tapas beforehand are included in the price. Many hosts frame the evening with walking bites as a welcome and a dessert after; the Classic drinks package with cava pairs well.

Paella Marbella: where we cook and how much you need

We cook paella in Marbella at almost any venue: a villa garden on the Golden Mile, a rooftop in the centre, a garden in Nueva Andalucía, Elviria or Guadalmina, or a finca towards Ojén and Benahavís. We also work in Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona.

On portions we count roughly 350 to 400 grams of cooked paella per person when it is the main course. If you serve walking bites first, around 300 grams is enough. That calculation is already included in the €38 per person price.

For the venue we need a flat spot of roughly two by two metres, power and water nearby, and room for guests to stand around it. Nothing more is required.

Paella catering compared with walking bites and BBQ

Paella catering (€38 p.p.) is the most affordable option and works best as a central main course: one moment when everybody eats together. Walking bites (€42 p.p.) keep guests moving all evening, and BBQ (€45 p.p.) stretches the evening out around the fire.

Many hosts combine the two: walking bites as a welcome, then paella as the main course. For that combination we make one quote with an adjusted price per person and a workable timeline.

Paella for 25 people in Marbella
