Catering for every guest

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Get facilities approval early

We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

What corporate paella catering costs

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Your choice of paellas

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

What we need to know

The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Which courses you have in mind
  • The date and rough timings
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Where the event is

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

For planners, venues and organisers

Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Before you choose a spot

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking

As a London location, Bankside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Canapé tapas
  • Drinks service
  • Paella lunches
  • Vegan & vegetarian pans
  • Desserts
  • Bowl food

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

What happens on the day

Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in Bankside, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Before we arrive

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
