Corporate paella catering in Ansteadbrook, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Typical bookings include charity and fundraising events and client hospitality, with vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and bowl food.
At country venues around Ansteadbrook, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What else we do in Ansteadbrook
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Ansteadbrook, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
