Live corporate paella catering in St Mary Hoo
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
