What corporate paella catering costs

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • How many courses
  • Parking and unloading
  • Timings and hours

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • The date and time of the event
  • The courses you’d like
  • The address or venue name
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

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.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Space, weather and the venue

We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
