How we price corporate paella catering

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Your choice of paellas
  • How many guests are eating
  • 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

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
  • The date and time of the event

To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Hornton, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How the day works

The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. After-work summer parties in Hornton have daylight until about 9:30pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  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. Fast service, then we clear away.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Paella compared with other options

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
