Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Timings and hours
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
- The paellas you choose
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Garlinge, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Garlinge, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
