Is live paella right for your work event?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Cold Ash? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just use our quote form.

How far is Cold Ash from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For a Christmas party in Cold Ash, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
