Corporate paella catering in Hillstreet

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Timings and hours
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Starters, canapés and desserts

Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

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

  • The courses you’d like
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The address or venue name
  • A photo of the space, if you can

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

How our corporate paella catering works in Hillstreet

Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. For open days and launches and summer parties for staff, we’ll put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and bowl food and more.

At country venues around Hillstreet, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Catering for every guest

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Share the timings for food
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Get facilities approval early
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol

Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.

Crockery and staff can be added.

Paella compared with other options

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

How to compare caterers

What happens on the day

Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Hillstreet, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Before we arrive

  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
