What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Dishes our guests love

Canapé tapas suit client events.

Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why Keyhaven hosts choose us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
