How our corporate paella catering works in Lower Bush
Summer parties, lunches, team days and client events are all on our list. We cook canapé tapas, paella lunches and bowl food, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and team days.
Team away days in the countryside around Lower Bush suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
- How many courses
- How long we are needed on site
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The address or venue name

Questions from Lower Bush
Could we have live paella in Rede Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Cuxton station, about 1.1 miles east of the centre.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Why choose live paella in Lower Bush?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

- Share the timings for food
- Have water and soft drinks available

How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Lower Bush, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
