What paella party catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we are needed on site
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Tufnell Park until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
