How we price corporate paella catering
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Get facilities approval early
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why book with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- We cover Horton Heath and the whole of Hampshire
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

The process

For a Christmas party in Horton Heath, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.

Horton Heath questions
What’s the nearest station to Horton Heath for guests?
Hedge End station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook near the sea around Horton Heath?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
