Plan where rubbish goes
Plan a covered spot for wet weather

What affects the price in Horam

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

The paellas you choose
Whether you need crockery
Travel, parking and access
How many courses

Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

A photo of the space, if you can
Anything your venue supplies
Any dietary needs and allergies
Your date and when you want to eat

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

What happens on the day

Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a late-May party in Horam, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

First, we check the date and the space.
You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
