How we price corporate paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The paellas you choose
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The number of people
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Aylesford questions
Is Aylesford close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in Ditton Quarry?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through it.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. December events in Aylesford are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Is live paella right for your work event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- A quote that spells everything out
- Live cooking, not reheated food
