DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Canapé tapas
- Paella lunches
- Drinks service

- Vegan & vegetarian pans

What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Emberton are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Events in Emberton and across Milton Keynes
