How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many courses
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why us?
