Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Waiting and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

- Diets and allergies you know about
- The courses you’d like

Common questions in Tile Hurst
Do you come out to small places like Tile Hurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Yes, tapas work on their own, for receptions, parties and evening food.
Can you do sangria?
We can add sangria and bar staff.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Sunset in Tile Hurst is around 9:15pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We clear away our equipment when service is finished.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
