Paella compared with other options
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Leigh
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Typical bookings include summer parties for staff and conference lunches, serving paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
At country venues around Leigh, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
What else we do in Leigh
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Betchworth station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Is Leigh too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. In Leigh, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

What affects the price in Leigh
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
- The paellas you choose
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
