How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How long we are needed on site
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The courses you’d like
- What the venue already provides
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.

Freshwater questions
Can you cook near the sea around Freshwater?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cater in Freshwater?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Freshwater and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What you get with us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- No hidden extras in your quote
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For event organisers in Freshwater
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
