Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

What corporate paella catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and rough timings
- Which courses you have in mind
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
As a London location, Hayes is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Hayes have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
