Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Which courses you have in mind
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.

For a Christmas party in East Meon, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

East Meon: your questions answered
How far is East Meon from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is East Meon too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

Can you do a team-building activity?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
