Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

What corporate paella catering costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The number of people
  • Whether you need crockery
  • The length of service
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

What to tell us

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • The address or venue name
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Your date and when you want to eat

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Share the timings for food
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events

We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

The process

We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In Lambs Green, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Can you bring crockery?

Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.

Do you do starters?

Is live paella right for your work event?

Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. 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.

Space, weather and the venue

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
