Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a Christmas party in Wash Water, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- 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 arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Give us a contact for the day

Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Wash Water: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Sandleford Priory?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Wash Water?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
