Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
