Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. After-work summer parties in Stonehills have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

How we price corporate paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings

- The courses you’d like
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Stonehills
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can the team help cook?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
