Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Corporate paella catering in Broadstone, cooked live
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. We cook bowl food, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for team-building days and launches and open days.
An away day near Broadstone is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Level ground for the pans and burners
