How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many courses
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many guests are eating
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Where the event is
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
