Do you come out to small places like Laddingford?

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many guests are eating
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Which courses you have in mind
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
