What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d cook
- What the venue already provides
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
