A closer look at the menu

Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Get facilities approval early
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Think about shade and seating
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

How we price corporate paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
