Corporate paella catering in Hurtmore, cooked live
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Popular choices include canapé tapas, bowl food and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas and end-of-year parties and team-building events.
For rural venues near Hurtmore, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Canapé tapas
- Drinks service
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Desserts
- Paella lunches
- Bowl food
The menu, dish by dish
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff during receptions.
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Drinks service on request
- A quote that spells everything out
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. 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. For a Christmas party in Hurtmore, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
