About our corporate paella catering in Burley
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. For team-building events and charity days, we can cook paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella and more.
An away day near Burley is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas suit client events.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. In Burley, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
