- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing

What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many staff you need
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d cook
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 use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
