What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The courses you’d like
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Get facilities approval early
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Think about shade and seating
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Bowl food for standing events.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
