Prices and what affects them

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Whether you need crockery
  • How many guests are eating
  • Distance and access to the venue

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 venue or postcode
  • Expected numbers
  • The date and time of the event

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd 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.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
