How we price corporate paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The courses you’d like
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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.

Step by step
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 usually draws people over. For a Christmas party in Aston, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.

- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
