How we price corporate paella catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Which courses you have in mind
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
