About our corporate paella catering in Cousley Wood
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. We cook bowl food, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater fundraisers and team lunches.
Team away days in the countryside around Cousley Wood suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
