DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How we price corporate paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Guest numbers
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and rough timings
- Which courses you have in mind
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Get facilities approval early
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.

Common questions in Mansbridge
How far is Mansbridge from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Mansbridge for guests?
The closest is Swaythling station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

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:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
