What tapas catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.

How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer drinks reception in Gossops Green has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
