How we price tapas catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Tapas are flexible, so they fit most plans. Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
