How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Marden, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The length of service
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Which courses you have in mind
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
