Planning an event in Dogmersfield?
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

About our corporate paella catering in Dogmersfield
Pans and serving points are planned around your schedule, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. We are often asked to cater client hospitality and product launches and open days, with paella lunches, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella.
At country venues around Dogmersfield, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Let us know how long people have to eat
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Dogmersfield have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Name one person we can ask on the day

About the dishes
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, ideal for a lunch break.
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
