Corporate paella catering for your work event in Ditton Hill
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events, at offices, hired venues and outdoor spaces. We are often asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and team-building events, with bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Around Ditton Hill, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

How we price corporate paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many staff you need
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A photo of the space, if you can
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. December events in Ditton Hill are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Questions from Ditton Hill
Is parking a problem for events in Ditton Hill?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Could we have live paella in Stokes Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
