DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How our corporate paella catering works in Headley
Live paella makes lunch an activity. Typical bookings include team-building days and christmas and end-of-year parties, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and paella lunches.
Team away days in the countryside around Headley suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Headley: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in New Greenham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Headley for guests?
Thatcham station, about 2.3 miles north of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Headley?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, West Berkshire included. Find your area.
Why choose live paella in Headley?
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
