Paella compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- What the venue already provides
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Chesterton, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:30pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
