What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share the timings for food
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.

Questions from Baldslow
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you cook in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Baldslow, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
