  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.

FAQs for Burdrop

Is Burdrop too small for live paella?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Is Burdrop close to London?

About 70 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

Do you provide drinks?

Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.

Is halal food available?

Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

What corporate paella catering costs

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Guest numbers
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Timings and hours

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What we need to know

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • The address or venue name
  • Your date and when you want to eat

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Why book with us

  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request

See Our pricing And The cost guide.

Dishes our guests love

Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.

Paella lunches

Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

On the menu in Burdrop

  • Vegan & vegetarian pans
  • Desserts
  • Drinks service
  • Bowl food
  • Canapé tapas
  • Paella lunches

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events

The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.

Canapés for drinks receptions.

DIY paella versus live catering

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
