What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Questions from Saltwood
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Saltwood, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
How to get a price
