What else we do in Bevendean
How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- Your choice of paellas
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Questions from Bevendean
Can you cook near the sea around Bevendean?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Bevendean close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cater at business parks?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Let us know how long people have to eat
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What you get with us
- Fast service from the pan
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Drinks service on request

Before you choose a spot

- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
