How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
- How long we’re needed on site
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Which courses you have in mind
- Roughly how many adults and children
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Ratcliff is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
