Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us

- Your date and when you want to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
