Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many guests are eating
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, your venue or GU24 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Mimbridge, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
