Corporate paella catering in Broomfield, cooked live
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We cook paella lunches, bowl food and Spanish desserts, and we’re frequently booked for company summer parties and customer events.
For rural venues near Broomfield, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
FAQs for Broomfield
Is Broomfield close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook near the sea around Broomfield?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. In Broomfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
