How our corporate paella catering works in Foley Park
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and launches and client and customer events.
Around Foley Park, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Foley Park have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
