Corporate paella catering for your work event in Crawley
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Whether it is client and customer events and team-building events, we can cook paella lunches, bowl food and canapé tapas and more.
An away day near Crawley is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

DIY paella versus live catering

Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why Crawley hosts choose us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Drinks service on request
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Live cooking, not reheated food

For event organisers in Crawley
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Crawley are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
