Corporate paella catering for your work event in Middleton

For rural venues near Middleton, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Get facilities approval early
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Tell us how long the food break is
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

What’s in the pans
Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd, with every diet covered.
Paella compared with other options
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. For a Christmas party in Middleton, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
