What affects the price in Broad Ford

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • How many courses
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • How many staff you need

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The venue or postcode

Should I cook it myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Paella compared with other options

For catering that’s part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Real theatre, not just catering
