What corporate paella catering costs

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • The length of service
  • How many courses
  • Travel, parking and access

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The courses you’d like
  • Your date and when you want to eat

Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.

How our corporate paella catering works in Highbury

Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Typical bookings include christmas parties and open days and launches, with paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.

In Highbury, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan for fast service. Let us know about access and loading. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Highbury

Could we have live paella in Highbury Fields?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Which station should guests use for Highbury?

Highbury has its own station: Canonbury station.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

How does payment work for businesses?

Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.

Where do you cater?

We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Highbury?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Planning for every diet

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details

We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Before you choose a spot

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

As a London location, Highbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How it works

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Highbury, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Before we arrive

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Tell us when you want to eat
