Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. We are often asked to cater summer staff parties and launches and open days, with Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches.

Team away days in the countryside around Pagham suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Choosing a paella caterer

Where we can cook in Pagham

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price corporate paella catering

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • The paellas you choose
  • Waiting and bar staff

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.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • What the venue already provides
  • The date and time of the event
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The venue or postcode

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Pagham, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us your final numbers and diets

Why live cooking beats a buffet

For catering that is part of the event, live paella stands out. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

  • Fast service from the pan
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Everything cooked fresh at your event
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

Questions from Pagham

What’s the nearest station to Pagham for guests?

The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 3.2 miles away.

Is Pagham close to London?

Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can you cook in the rain?

Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.

Can you cater a winter event?

Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details

The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
