About our festival paella catering in Ascott-under-Wychwood

How we price festival paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
