What affects the price in Borough Green
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
- The number of people
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
Paella party catering for your party in Borough Green
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a photo. We are often asked to cater garden get-togethers and christenings and naming days, with seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas.
Around Borough Green, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. Live paella fits right in. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Live paella or other catering?
