Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Why choose corporate paella catering in Chislet?

Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Charity and fundraising events
- End-of-year celebrations
- Conferences and training days
- Company summer parties
Central London is about 57 miles from Chislet, so it’s a practical spot for away days and team events.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, if it applies
- What happens if it rains
- How long the team stays
- The deposit and payment dates
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Get facilities approval early
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
