Corporate paella catering in Egerton
Corporate paella catering in Egerton, cooked live
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and bowl food, and typical bookings are for conference lunches and fundraisers.
Team away days in the countryside around Egerton suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
How we price corporate paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- How many guests are eating
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
