If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Bickley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What corporate paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- Travel, parking and access
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Bickley have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
