Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
