Planning an event in Woldingham Garden Village?
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The number of people
- The paellas you choose
- How long we are needed on site
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
