Choosing a paella caterer

Common questions in Woodmancote

Which station should guests use for Woodmancote?

The closest is Southbourne station, roughly 0.9 miles away.

Is Woodmancote close to London?

Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

How does payment work for businesses?

Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll talk you through it.

What areas do you cover?

We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Do you cook at offices in central London?

Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.

What about pudding?

We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.

What corporate paella catering costs

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:

  • The number of people
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Timings and hours
  • Waiting and bar staff

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • The address or venue name
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it is 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. To send them, use our quote form.

Catering for every guest

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
