Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Distance and access to the venue
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. In Waddesdon, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
