Paella compared with other options
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Fast service from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. A summer party in Further Quarter stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
