Corporate paella catering near Monxton
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. In Monxton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
