How we price corporate paella catering

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Parking and unloading
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • How long we are needed on site

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
  • Expected numbers
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Diets and allergies you know about

The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Harpsden Bottom, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Share the timings for food

The space is left clean and tidy.

The menu, dish by dish

Vegan and vegetarian pans

A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.

Canapé tapas

Canapés suit launches and client events.

Why choose live paella in Harpsden Bottom?

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

What you get with us

  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Real theatre, not just catering

Step by step

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape.
