How our corporate paella catering works in Bembridge

For businesses around Bembridge, an outdoor team lunch or summer party is easy to arrange with live paella. Tell us about the site and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Bembridge have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us where to park and unload

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
