- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
- How long we are needed on site
- Guest numbers
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.
