What affects the price in Well Hill

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Guest numbers
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Timings and hours

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Our caterer checklist

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

How the day works

We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Sunset in Well Hill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. On the day, we set up and get cooking.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
