About our corporate paella catering in Painter's Forstal
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. On the menu are Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater open days and launches and summer parties for staff.
An away day near Painter's Forstal is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Desserts
- Drinks service
- Canapé tapas
- Paella lunches
- Bowl food
