How we price corporate paella catering

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • The number of people
  • The length of service
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Details that help

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • The venue or postcode

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

For planners, venues and organisers

Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Nutbourne questions

Is Nutbourne close to London?

Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

What do you need at the venue?

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.

Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Can you cook in the rain?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Can we pay by invoice?

Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how we work.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.

What we need at the venue

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

  • Drinks service

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Ask staff about diets in advance

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.

The process

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a Christmas party in Nutbourne, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

How to prepare

  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
