Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many staff you need
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. Evening events in Sutton Scotney have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
