Prices and what affects them

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Guest numbers

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • The date and rough timings
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Think about shade and seating
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up

We serve at the agreed time, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

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.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
