A closer look at the menu

Paella lunches

Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd, with every diet covered.

Vegan and vegetarian pans

Separate pans with plant-based stock, so everyone eats well.

Should I cook it myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Prices and what affects them

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Guest numbers
  • How many courses

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Anything your venue supplies
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • The date and rough timings
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.

  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.
