Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
