What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
