About our corporate paella catering in Barwell
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Popular choices include canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and typical bookings are for conferences and training days and team lunches.
For offices in and around Barwell, the cooking spot is generally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Barwell?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Can staff get involved?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll see what works.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

What else we do in Barwell
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Barwell are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of paellas
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
- How many courses
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
- Where the event is
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.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- We cover Barwell and the whole of Greater London
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
