Corporate paella catering near Hollybushes
Corporate paella catering in Hollybushes, made fresh on the day
At client events, presentation counts: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. Popular choices include paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and we’re regularly asked to cater product launches and open days and customer events.
Team away days in the countryside around Hollybushes suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
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.

Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.

Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
