Corporate paella catering in Holt Pound, made fresh on the day
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. We’re often asked to cater training days and conferences and open days and launches, serving Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around Holt Pound suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What you get with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Real theatre, not just catering

The process
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 normally draws people over. For a Christmas party in Holt Pound, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
