How our corporate paella catering works in Glassenbury
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. We are frequently asked to cater away days and office lunches and launches and open days, with canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around Glassenbury suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Distance and access to the venue
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.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and rough timings
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Bowl food for standing events.
How the day works
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. For a Christmas party in Glassenbury, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Leave space around the cooking area

Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
