Prices and what affects them

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How many courses
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Your choice of paellas
  • How long we are needed on site

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What we need to know

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Where the event is
  • A picture of where we’d cook

It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Paella compared with other options

Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Why us?

  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • We cover Leamouth and the whole of Greater London

Crew meals are served at set times.

Bowl food for easy eating on the move.

Space, weather and the venue

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Access for unloading at set-up
  • Clear information on power, water and waste
  • Spacing from tents and other structures

Leamouth is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens on the day

We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Summer events in Leamouth have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. Send us your event details and pitch information.
  2. We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
  3. We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
  4. We cook and serve throughout.
  5. We pack down and tidy the pitch.

Before we arrive

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
