Corporate paella catering in Finmere, made fresh on the day
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We’re frequently asked to cater team-building events and launches and open days, with vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
For rural venues near Finmere, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Let us know how long people have to eat
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Finmere, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:30pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
How to get a price
