How we price corporate paella catering

Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:

  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Guest numbers
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Timings and hours

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • The date and rough timings
  • Expected numbers
  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Step by step

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. After-work summer parties in Woodcote have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Why us?

  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Read Our prices page Or Our guide to catering costs.

Before you choose a spot

We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Facilities approval and any site rules

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Menu ideas

  • Bowl food
  • Drinks service
