What corporate paella catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Corporate paella catering in Underriver, cooked live
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. Typical bookings include product launches and open days and team days, with paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
An away day near Underriver is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Underriver: your questions answered
Is Underriver close to London?
About 22 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Underriver?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. For a Christmas party in Underriver, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
