What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
