How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. December events in Bridgemary are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.

About our corporate paella catering in Bridgemary
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We’re often asked to cater customer events and summer staff parties, with vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas.
Work events near Bridgemary might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

What’s in the pans
Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff during receptions.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Bridgemary questions
How far is Bridgemary from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook near the sea around Bridgemary?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, subject to the building’s rules.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
- The date and rough timings
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
