Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Corporate paella catering in Crondall, cooked live
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. For training days and conferences and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella and more.
An away day near Crondall is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
How we price corporate paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
- The number of people
Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- Your date and when you want to eat
Send us the date, your venue or GU10 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.

How the day works

For a Christmas party in Crondall, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
