Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Which courses you have in mind
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want to eat
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
