Corporate paella catering in Penn, made fresh on the day
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. For summer parties for staff and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
An away day near Penn 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, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Penn questions
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Penn for guests?
High Wycombe station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Penn.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.

Paella compared with other options
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. In Penn, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day

- Have a level space ready for the pans
