What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The paellas you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Which courses you have in mind

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

FAQs for Hankham
Do you come out to small places like Hankham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking

The process

In Hankham, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
