Your questions about corporate paella catering in Porchfield
Can you cook near the sea around Porchfield?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you come out to small places like Porchfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can staff get involved?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
