How we price corporate paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- Which courses you have in mind

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
