Corporate paella catering in Bloodden, made fresh on the day
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Whether it is end-of-year celebrations and open days and launches, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches and more.
At country venues around Bloodden, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Bloodden, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the 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
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Share the running order, including any speeches

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
