What corporate paella catering costs

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • How many guests are eating
  • How many staff you need
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Starters, canapés and desserts

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Which courses you have in mind

How to compare caterers

What happens on the day

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Little Chelsea are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Why choose Love Paella in Little Chelsea

  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Space, weather and the venue

We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

As a London location, Little Chelsea is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
