What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Your choice of paellas
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
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.
