How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Heron Quays, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Why choose corporate paella catering in Heron Quays?
It brings teams together around the pans.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Conferences and training days
- Client and customer events
- Team-building events
- Product launches and open days
With the A1261 nearby, access for our van and equipment is straightforward.

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Paella compared with other options
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
