About our corporate paella catering in Cooling
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We are often asked to cater conferences and training days and away days and office lunches, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and Spanish desserts.
For rural venues near Cooling, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Is live paella right for your work event?
For catering that is part of the event, live paella stands out. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. December events in Cooling are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

What affects the price in Cooling
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
