How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

FAQs for Filching
Is Filching too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
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.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, 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 larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Where we can cook in Filching
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. For a Christmas party in Filching, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
