Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff

What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd 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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
