Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Think about shade and seating
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
