Corporate paella catering in Hyde, cooked live
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Whether it’s client hospitality and away days and office lunches, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Team away days in the countryside around Hyde suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Paella compared with other options
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around 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.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Hyde have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
