- Provide seating near the food

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- The paellas you choose
- How long we are needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many staff you need
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- What the venue already provides
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Paella compared with other options
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
