What corporate paella catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
- Waiting and bar staff
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- Which courses you have in mind
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.
About the dishes
Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We serve at the agreed time, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. 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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
