About our corporate paella catering in Longford
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Typical bookings include christmas parties and open days and launches, with Spanish desserts, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
Team away days in the countryside around Longford suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. In Longford, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us a contact for the day

Dishes our guests love
Paella lunches
A choice of paellas, quick to serve to a big team.
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff during receptions.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
