Greatness: your questions answered
Is Greatness close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in Montreal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
