How our corporate paella catering works in Fernhill
Live paella makes lunch an activity. Typical bookings include office lunches and away days and conferences and training days, serving canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around Fernhill suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
Paella compared with other options
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Fernhill hosts choose us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Fernhill, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Other catering in Fernhill
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
