Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Crouch, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
