How we price festival paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- The paellas you choose
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- What the venue already provides
- The courses you’d like
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
