Corporate paella catering near Northam
Corporate paella catering in Northam, made fresh on the day
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. On the menu are Spanish desserts, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for product launches and open days and fundraisers.
Work events near Northam might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Northam, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Check the venue allows live cooking

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
