Corporate paella catering in Dummer, cooked live
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We are often asked to cater company summer parties and fundraisers, with canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.
An away day near Dummer is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Why Dummer hosts choose us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food

Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Think about shade and seating
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Bowl food for standing events.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager

What else we do in Dummer
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
