Corporate paella catering near Earlswood
How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The number of people
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many staff you need
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- What the venue already provides
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

For a Christmas party in Earlswood, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Questions from Earlswood
Can you cook in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How far is Earlswood from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
For event organisers in Earlswood
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
