The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. A summer party in Eton Wick stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

What affects the price in Eton Wick
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- The paellas you choose
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
