How we price tapas catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of paellas
- 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. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything your venue supplies
- Which courses you have in mind
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.

For event organisers in Easington
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening receptions in Easington stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.

Questions from Easington
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Easington too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do we need staff for canapés?
Staff make canapés work, which we can supply.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you cook tapas on site?
Yes, hot dishes are finished at the venue so they’re served at their best.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
