Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
How we price corporate paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of people
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Get facilities approval early
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Crockery and staff can be added.
