The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

Northiam: your questions answered
How far is Northiam from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Northiam?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Can staff get involved?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Occasions we cook for in Northiam
It’s fast to serve to a crowd, ideal for a tight schedule.
