Dishes our guests love
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The traditional pan has chicken, flat green beans and butter beans, and it is a crowd-pleaser.
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, and is normally served with alioli. It’s a striking addition to a seafood menu.
How we price paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many staff you need
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Whether you need crockery
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- What the venue already provides
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Around midsummer it stays light in Winkfield Street until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
