Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Expected numbers
- What the venue already provides
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in Lane End is around 9:25pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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.
Why choose live paella in Lane End?
Standard canapés can feel samey. Tapas bring something different. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
