Corporate paella catering in Denton, cooked live

At client events, presentation counts: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. We are often asked to cater conferences and training days and open days and launches, serving bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches.

Around Denton, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

The process

When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. In Denton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Planning for every diet

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Have water and soft drinks available

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
