Paella compared with other options
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Evening events in Windsor have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your 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 pack down.
