How our corporate paella catering works in Upper Froyle
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Typical bookings include company summer parties and customer events, with vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and canapé tapas.

What affects the price in Upper Froyle
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of paellas
- Waiting and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Travel, parking and access
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and time of the event
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why Upper Froyle hosts choose us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Fast service from the pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Upper Froyle, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
