Corporate paella catering near Hanover
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How our corporate paella catering works in Hanover
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. We cook bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are often booked for client hospitality and open days and launches.
Around Hanover, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

FAQs for Hanover
Can you cook in Queen's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you cook inside?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we will send what you need.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
