Can you cater for children?

How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- What the venue already provides
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
