Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many guests are eating
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • How many staff you need
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

How to compare caterers

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. 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.
