Corporate paella catering in Fern, cooked live
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we are frequently booked for team-building days and open days and launches.
An away day near Fern is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. In Fern, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
