Live corporate paella catering in Bellingham

What corporate paella catering costs

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Timings and hours
  • Guest numbers
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Corporate paella catering in Bellingham, cooked live

A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. On the menu are canapé tapas, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for team-building days and charity and fundraising events.

For offices in and around Bellingham, the cooking spot is usually a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

What happens on the day

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Bellingham, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

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.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Working with your venue

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

How to compare caterers

Questions from Bellingham

What about parking in Bellingham?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

Can you cook in Forster Memorial Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Do you cater for young children?

Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Should we have more than one paella?

Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
