What affects the price in Tadley
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
