Corporate paella catering in Peasmarsh
About our corporate paella catering in Peasmarsh
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are regularly asked to cater product launches and open days and charity days.
At country venues around Peasmarsh, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Bowl food
- Drinks service
- Paella lunches
- Canapé tapas
- Desserts
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

How we price corporate paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Think about shade and seating
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Have water and soft drinks available
We leave the space as we found it.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Paella compared with other options
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why book with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Sangria and bar staff available
- A clear, itemised quote
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
