Paella party catering in Loudwater
Is live paella right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
