What corporate paella catering costs

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • Parking and unloading
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Guest numbers
  • How long we’re needed on site

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Expected numbers
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • The venue or postcode
  • Anything your venue supplies

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.

Why choose live paella in South Ambersham?

Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

What you get with us

  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • No hidden extras in your quote

South Ambersham: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like South Ambersham?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

What space do you need to cook?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

Do you cook inside?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

How it works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. In South Ambersham, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

How to prepare

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
