Corporate paella catering near Lovedean
Corporate paella catering in Lovedean, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Whether it is launches and open days and customer events, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and paella lunches for your guests.
An away day near Lovedean is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
About the dishes
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Lovedean, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
