What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. December events in Durrington are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
How to prepare

What else we do in Durrington
Planning a team event in Durrington
Durrington is about 1 mile north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Work events in Durrington are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. We cook in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex. We cook right across the region, from Durrington to Brighton (about 12 miles away).
For staff and clients coming by train, Durrington-On-Sea station is about 1.3 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Ecclesden Manor (2.6 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles, which suits team away days in the countryside. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
Anywhere in BN13 and BN12, we can cook for your guests. Local streets include Lyn Road, New Road and Tavy Road; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella. You will find Durrington on the A2032, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van and pans. We also cook at work events in Cote (1 mile north-west), High Salvington (1 mile north), Goring-by-Sea (2 miles south), Clapham (2 miles north-west) and Patching (2 miles north-west).

FAQs for Durrington
Could we have live paella in Durrington Minature Railway?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we will respond.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
