What corporate paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Paella compared with other options

Waltham questions
What’s the nearest station to Waltham for guests?
Chilham station, about 3.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Waltham?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What paperwork do you have?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll send what you need.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
How long does the paella take?
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 do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Drinks service
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Bowl food
- Canapé tapas
- Paella lunches
- Desserts

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
What happens on the day
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. December events in Waltham are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
