Live paella or other catering?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- A clear, itemised quote
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Drinks service on request
- Catering across Greater London, including West Barnes
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
