Planning help
Why choose live paella in Crondall?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

How we price festival paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

- The courses you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of where we’d cook
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
