How much does paella catering cost for a summer party?

Expect 10 to 16 pounds per head. Summer is peak season so popular dates book up fast. Pricing is shown upfront on Nuento.

How far ahead should I book for summer?

Book 4 to 8 weeks ahead for weekend dates. Midweek events are usually easier to arrange at shorter notice.

Can paella work alongside a barbecue?

Yes. Paella and a BBQ make a great combination for a summer party, offering variety without doubling up on the same type of food.

What vegetarian options are available?

Most paella caterers offer a vegetable paella as standard. Vegan options are also widely available since paella is naturally dairy-free.
