What else we do in West Molesey
How we price festival paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- What the venue already provides
- The venue or postcode
- The courses you’d like
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Schedule crew meals
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Provide seating near the food
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
