Corporate paella catering in Luton, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Whether it’s summer staff parties and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.
Around Luton, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. 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.
What you get with us
- Drinks service on request
- Fast service from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

After-work summer parties in Luton have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.

Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Luton for guests?
The closest is Chatham station, roughly 1 mile away.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
