About our corporate paella catering in Hurst
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. We are often asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and team lunches, with paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
An away day near Hurst is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A proper vegetarian or vegan main, not an afterthought.
Canapé tapas
Canapés suit launches and client events.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Facilities approval and any site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

- Vegan & vegetarian pans

What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Which courses you have in mind
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Hurst, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
