How our corporate paella catering works in Key's Green
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We’re frequently asked to cater fundraisers and end-of-year celebrations, serving paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Team away days in the countryside around Key's Green suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
About the dishes
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A proper vegetarian or vegan main, in its own pan.
Bowl food

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it is ready. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
