How we price corporate paella catering

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Whether you need crockery
  • How long we are needed on site
  • Distance and access to the venue

Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Anything your venue supplies
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • The venue or postcode

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Planning help

Planning for every diet

  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks

Common questions in Aldermaston Soke

How far is Aldermaston Soke from London?

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Is Aldermaston Soke too small for live paella?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

How does payment work for businesses?

Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through it.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Should we have more than one paella?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

Can you cook indoors?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
