Live corporate paella catering in Linwood
Corporate paella catering in Linwood, made fresh on the day
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. Whether it is launches and open days and client and customer events, we can cook canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches for your guests.
An away day near Linwood is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Drinks service on request
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
