Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
