Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Weston? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
What tapas catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening receptions in Weston stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
- You get a selection and a price.
- We set up and finish hot tapas on site.
- Canapés go round or tapas go to the tables.
- We clear our equipment afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
