What corporate paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
- The courses you’d like

What’s in the pans
Paella lunches
A choice of paellas, ideal for a lunch break.
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Live paella or other catering?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
