Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Guest numbers
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a summer wedding in North Ascot, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Send us the running order and speech times
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, usually timed after the first dance.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
