How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Hornsey, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day

What corporate paella catering costs
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
