Corporate paella catering in Domewood, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. On the menu are canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and client and customer events.
Team away days in the countryside around Domewood suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why us?
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, your venue or RH10 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. In Domewood, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
