How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Bishopstone, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.

Bishopstone questions
Could we have live paella in Castle Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cook near the sea around Bishopstone?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll see what works.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

How we price corporate paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, parking and access
- Waiting and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
- How long we are needed on site
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- What the venue already provides
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, your venue or BN25 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
