What tapas catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
- How many staff you need
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
