Corporate paella catering in Highams Park, made fresh on the day
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and launches and office lunches and away days, serving Spanish desserts, bowl food and paella lunches.
For offices in and around Highams Park, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

What corporate paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Waiting and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Expected numbers
- What the venue already provides
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
We leave the space as we found it.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
