Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if you can

Live paella or other catering?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- A clear, itemised quote

How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. Summer events in Luxted 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.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
