How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of paellas
- How long we are needed on site

- How many guests are eating
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
