Corporate paella catering in Ashburnham, made fresh on the day
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. We are often asked to cater client hospitality and end-of-year celebrations, with vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
An away day near Ashburnham is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Is live paella right for your work event?
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
