Corporate paella catering in Eyhorne Street, cooked live
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. We cook paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater company summer parties and team lunches.
An away day near Eyhorne Street is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
Live paella or other catering?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What you get with us
- A clear, itemised quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. After-work summer parties in Eyhorne Street have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
