Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests are eating
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

How our corporate paella catering works in Westwell
Live paella makes lunch an activity. Popular choices include bowl food, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are regularly asked to cater team lunches and summer staff parties.
For rural venues near Westwell, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
What’s in the pans
Paella lunches
A choice of paellas, ideal for a lunch break.
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
