How we price corporate paella catering

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • How many staff you need
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • How long we are needed on site
  • The number of people

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of where we’d cook

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Beddington

At client events, presentation counts: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. We are often asked to cater summer staff parties and product launches and open days, with bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.

For offices in and around Beddington, the cooking spot is usually a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

Where we can cook in Beddington

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

As a London location, Beddington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Organising for someone else?

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Share the timings for food

We adapt if timings change.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Our caterer checklist

Why choose live paella in Beddington?

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Why book with us

  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Fast service from the pan

What happens on the day

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a Christmas party in Beddington, it’s 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 check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
