How we price corporate paella catering

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

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • How many guests are eating
  • Parking and unloading
  • How long we are needed on site

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

What we need to know

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Anything your venue supplies
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • The venue or postcode

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.

Catering for every guest

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Think about shade and seating
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Let us know how long people have to eat

If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

How the day works

Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. After-work summer parties in Chadwell Heath have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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.

Why choose live paella in Chadwell Heath?

For catering that is part of the event, live paella stands out. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
