Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
- How many courses
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Stunts Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
