Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:

- Book crew catering in advance
- Give traders a single information pack

- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
