Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
