Corporate paella catering near Densole
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. After-work summer parties in Densole have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us a contact for the day

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 will do the cooking.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
