What affects the price in Clifton
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Summer events in Clifton have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
