How we price corporate paella catering

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • The length of service
  • Guest numbers
  • Parking and unloading

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • The date and time of the event
  • Expected numbers

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

How the day works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a Christmas party in Hoe Gate, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Before we arrive

Common questions in Hoe Gate

What’s the nearest station to Hoe Gate for guests?

The closest is Portchester station, roughly 4.5 miles away.

Is Hoe Gate close to London?

Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.

What documents can you provide?

Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we will respond.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Can you invoice the company?

We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

Who clears up?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

Paella compared with other options

Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What you get with us

  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

For planners, venues and organisers

Organising a club, school or community event in Hoe Gate? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

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

Planning the cooking area

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

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

  • Paella lunches
  • Canapé tapas
