Corporate paella catering in Blackhill, cooked live

Team away days in the countryside around Blackhill suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests are eating
- How many courses
- Timings and hours
- The paellas you choose
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Common questions in Blackhill
Is Blackhill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. For a Christmas party in Blackhill, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
