What festival paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Why choose live paella in Stadhampton?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What you get with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Real theatre, not just catering
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
