Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d cook
Send us the date, your venue or SL0 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
FAQs for Iver
How far is Iver from London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Iver?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is paella OK for kids?
Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we will check.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Warn the neighbours
- Plan seats for most guests
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Plan where rubbish goes
Children love watching the paella cook, from a safe distance.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Paella compared with other options
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- We cover Iver and the whole of Buckinghamshire
