How our corporate paella catering works in Dry Sandford
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas and end-of-year parties and charity days, with Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas.
At country venues around Dry Sandford, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Live paella or other catering?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Fast service from the pan
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. After-work summer parties in Dry Sandford have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; 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.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level space ready for the pans
