Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. We are often asked to cater team days and conference lunches, serving Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.

Work events near Cliftonville might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. December events in Cliftonville are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

What corporate paella catering costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • The paellas you choose
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • What the venue already provides
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The date and rough timings

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Dietary needs and planning tips

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities

The cooking area stays tidy.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Questions from Cliftonville

Can you cook near the sea around Cliftonville?

Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

Is Cliftonville close to London?

Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you cover Cliftonville?

Yes, we do. Cliftonville is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Can you cater a winter event?

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.

Who clears up?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

Will there be enough food?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Can you invoice the company?

Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

Space, weather and the venue

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Facilities approval and any site rules
