Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
