Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Questions from Colwell
What’s the nearest station to Colwell for guests?
The closest is Lymington Pier station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Can you cook at our office?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
