Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Guest numbers
  • The paellas you choose
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Timings and hours

Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

For event organisers in Saunderton Lee

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Saunderton Lee? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

Should I cook it myself?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

What happens on the day

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In Saunderton Lee, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
