Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Fairlee questions
Do you come out to small places like Fairlee?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Fairlee?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
