What corporate paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- The paellas you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- What the venue already provides
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
