Corporate paella catering in Chilworth, cooked live
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. For fundraisers and away days and office lunches, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas and more.
At country venues around Chilworth, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Share the timings for food
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Crockery and staff can be added.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
