How we price paella catering
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many staff you need
- How long we are needed on site
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Send us the date, your venue or GU26 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Occasions we cook for in GU26
Few dishes cope with mixed diets like paella, thanks to separate pans for each version. Everyone gets the same kind of meal.
Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:
- Company summer parties
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Weddings, from canapés to evening food
- Birthday celebrations
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
GU26 questions
Can you feed a lot of people?
Yes. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
