Corporate paella catering for your work event in Northway

We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. For company summer parties and client and customer events, we can cook bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.

Around Northway, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

About the dishes

Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.

Vegan and vegetarian pans

A proper vegetarian or vegan main, not an afterthought.

What corporate paella catering costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • The length of service
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

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.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. December events in Northway are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

How to prepare

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

How to get a price
