Why choose live paella in Northdown?

How we price corporate paella catering

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Timings and hours
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Distance and access to the venue

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • The date and time of the event

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Think about shade and seating
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies

The space is left clean and tidy.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

Planners, venues and businesses

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Planning the cooking area

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

What we offer

  • Canapé tapas
  • Paella lunches
  • Desserts
  • Drinks service

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

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.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. For a Christmas party in Northdown, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Leave space around the cooking area

Getting a price
