How our corporate paella catering works in Avon Castle
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. For summer parties for staff and client hospitality, we can cook canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food and more.
For rural venues near Avon Castle, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Avon Castle, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Could we have live paella in Avon Heath Country Park?
