How we price corporate paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Corporate paella catering in Ashburton, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Popular choices include bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for charity and fundraising events and company summer parties.
Around Ashburton, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams generally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
