Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware

- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Waiting and bar staff
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d cook
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Live paella or other catering?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why Brick Hill hosts choose us

Brick Hill questions
Do you come out to small places like Brick Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Brick Hill from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. At midsummer, events in Brick Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
