Corporate paella catering for Hersham events
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Hersham
Could we have live paella in West End Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What’s the nearest station to Hersham for guests?
The closest is Walton-On-Thames station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Can the team help cook?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
