Prices and what affects them

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service
  • How many guests are eating
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Starters, canapés and desserts

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • The courses you’d like
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The date and time of the event

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
