Corporate paella catering in Midanbury, cooked live

How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Midanbury, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Common questions in Midanbury
Can you cook near the sea around Midanbury?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Midanbury close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how we work.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Why choose live paella in Midanbury?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
We leave the space as we found it.
