Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
