For rural venues near Four Elms, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Drinks service on request
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fast service from the pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Get facilities approval early
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Four Elms, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day

Dishes our guests love
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Space, weather and the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
