Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Think about shade and seating
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Corporate paella catering in Cockpole Green, made fresh on the day
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. We’re frequently asked to cater team days and charity and fundraising events, with bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.
At country venues around Cockpole Green, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

After-work summer parties in Cockpole Green have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Questions from Cockpole Green
Is Cockpole Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could we have live paella in Mill Meadows?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Do you come to Cockpole Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Cockpole Green is within our area and the rest of Wokingham. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
