How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Puckpool is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Puckpool: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Puckpool?

What paperwork do you have?
Send us the venue’s requirements.

Yes, we do. Puckpool is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Puckpool, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
