Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Think about shade and seating
- Get facilities approval early

What else we do in Dungeness
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Dishes our guests love
Bowl food

How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of the space, if you can
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. In Dungeness, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

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