- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
- Waiting and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
