About our corporate paella catering in Caterham
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We are frequently asked to cater company summer parties and fundraisers, with Spanish desserts, bowl food and paella lunches.
Work events in Caterham are often at the office, a local venue or an outdoor space nearby. Paella feeds a team fast and covers every diet. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
What affects the price in Caterham
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many staff you need
- How many guests are eating
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
