What corporate paella catering costs

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Whether you need crockery
  • The paellas you choose

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What to tell us

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • What the venue already provides
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Where the event is

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Live paella or other catering?

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Why us?

  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request

For planners, venues and organisers

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.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Think about shade and seating
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Tell us how long the food break is

We leave the space as we found it.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

Coombe: your questions answered

Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Do you come out to small places like Coombe?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

How long does the paella take?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Do you cook inside?

Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Can we pay by invoice?

Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Can you cook in the rain?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

How the day works

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. After-work summer parties in Coombe have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.
