What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Monk's Hill, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
