How our corporate paella catering works in Lillingstone Lovell

Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. We are frequently asked to cater christmas parties and conferences and training days, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches.

An away day near Lillingstone Lovell is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Prices and what affects them

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Guest numbers

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The date and rough timings
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Step by step

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. In Lillingstone Lovell, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:30pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

DIY paella versus live catering

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
