Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
- Parking and unloading
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
Send us the date, your venue or SP11 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Dishes our guests love
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over.
