Corporate paella catering in Oakleigh Park, cooked live
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. For office lunches and away days and summer parties for staff, we can cook Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas.
For offices in and around Oakleigh Park, the cooking spot is usually a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Oakleigh Park, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- 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 clear our area and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day

What else we do in Oakleigh Park
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
What affects the price in Oakleigh Park
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- What the venue already provides
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
