What else we do in Flexford
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
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
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
