Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Make sure dishes are labelled
- Add sangria or cava
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
Staff keep the canapés coming.

The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening receptions in Wroxton stay light until about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- We put together a tapas selection and a quote.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- We serve canapés with drinks or set table tapas down to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.

What affects the price in Wroxton
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want to eat

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Tapas are flexible, which makes them easy to plan around. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
