Corporate paella catering in Danehill, made fresh on the day
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. On the menu are bowl food, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we’re often booked for product launches and open days and away days and office lunches.
For rural venues near Danehill, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Share the timings for food
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
We adapt if timings change.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
What’s in the pans
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
Paella lunches

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
