What does corporate paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The address or venue name
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Canapé tapas
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Bowl food
- Paella lunches

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
