What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A photo of the space, if you can
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Dorney 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.

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.
