About our corporate paella catering in Hattingley
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. For team lunches and conference lunches, we can cook bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts for your guests.
An away day near Hattingley is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. In Hattingley, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
- 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
