What affects the price in Leckhampstead
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
- What the venue already provides
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
