How we price festival paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
