Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Marley, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
About our corporate paella catering in Marley
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. For fundraisers and summer staff parties, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.
Team away days in the countryside around Marley suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

Planning help
Marley: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Marley for guests?
The closest is Harrietsham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
How many paellas should we have?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll see what works.
What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
