Corporate paella catering in Broomfield, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Whether it’s launches and open days and away days and office lunches, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and Spanish desserts for your guests.
For rural venues near Broomfield, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Working with your venue

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why choose live paella in Broomfield?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Broomfield: your questions answered
Is Broomfield close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Somewhere close to park and unload

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Broomfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
