What tapas catering costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- The number of people
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. Your quote spells it all out.

To speed things up, tell us:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
