Corporate paella catering for your work event in Allbrook
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. For charity days and team-building days, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches and more.
Around Allbrook, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share the timings for food
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
