Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

What corporate paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- The paellas you choose
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. After-work summer parties in Chipstead have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Chipstead
Is parking a problem for events in Chipstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Fames Rough?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you invoice the company?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will explain how we work.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Why choose live paella in Chipstead?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. 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’ll suggest a menu.
