How to compare caterers

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

What you get with us

  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

See Our prices page And Our guide to catering costs.

Should I cook it myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities

We leave the space as we found it.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
