How we price corporate paella catering
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Timings and hours
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Travel, parking and access
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Corporate paella catering in Swanmore, cooked live
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. Typical bookings include team days and summer staff parties, with bowl food, Spanish desserts and paella lunches.
Teams near Swanmore frequently go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.

Organising for someone else?
