What else we do in Thursley
How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many staff you need
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- The courses you’d like
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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 it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. After-work summer parties in Thursley have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
