How our corporate paella catering works in Kingwood Common
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Typical bookings include training days and conferences and company summer parties, with vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
An away day near Kingwood Common is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Dishes our guests love
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing.
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas suit client events.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Share the timings for food
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask staff about diets in advance
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
