- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.

How we price paella party catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many guests are eating
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
