About our corporate paella catering in Hatherden
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. For christmas parties and fundraisers, we can cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
An away day near Hatherden is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

The process
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. In Hatherden, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Planning help
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
For event organisers in Hatherden
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
