Live corporate paella catering in Clapton
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Clapton
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. On the menu are paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts, and we are often booked for training days and conferences and product launches and open days.
An away day near Clapton is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving.

- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.

Paella compared with other options
