How our corporate paella catering works in Kingswood
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events, at offices, hired venues and outdoor spaces. For end-of-year celebrations and conference lunches, we can cook paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.
An away day near Kingswood is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a Christmas party in Kingswood, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
