Choosing a paella caterer

What’s in the pans

Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing.

Vegan and vegetarian pans

Cooked separately with their own stock.

Planners, venues and businesses

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

What corporate paella catering costs

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Parking and unloading
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • What the venue already provides
  • The date and rough timings
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

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.

Before you choose a spot

We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Why us?

  • Fast service from the pan
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

See Our pricing Or The cost guide.

Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

The process

We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Hinton Waldrist, 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. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
