Your questions about corporate paella catering in Mickleham
Could we have live paella in Norbury Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Mickleham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cater at business parks?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll talk you through it.

If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. There is 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. Your quote spells it all out.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
