How we price corporate paella catering

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • How long we are needed on site
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Guest numbers

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

What we need to know

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • The address or venue name
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Coldharbour

Is parking a problem for events in Coldharbour?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

Could we have live paella in Mudchute Park and Farm?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

Do you do vegan paella?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

Can you invoice the company?

Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.

Do you come to Coldharbour?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Coldharbour is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

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.

Step by step

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Coldharbour, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Preparing for the day
