Corporate paella catering for your work event in Norton Ash
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We cook paella lunches, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and office lunches and away days.
At country venues around Norton Ash, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
