For a Christmas party in Hammerpot, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
How we price corporate paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Organising for someone else?
