How we price corporate paella catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Parking and unloading
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the space, if you can
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Southampton: your questions answered
Is Southampton close to London?
About 69 miles from central London.
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.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how we work.
How many different paellas?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Drinks service
- Canapé tapas
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Desserts
- Paella lunches
- Bowl food
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
The menu, dish by dish
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks

- Give us diet totals and allergy details
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.

Live paella or other catering?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
