How our corporate paella catering works in Catslip
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are regularly asked to cater summer parties for staff and customer events.
Team away days in the countryside around Catslip suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. December events in Catslip are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
