Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
