How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Live paella or other catering?
