Live corporate paella catering in Perry
Perry: your questions answered
Is Perry too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Perry?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Corporate paella catering in Perry, cooked live
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. For end-of-year celebrations and summer staff parties, we can cook bowl food, canapé tapas and paella lunches and more.
For rural venues near Perry, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Dishes our guests love
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing and networking events.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. In Perry, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- 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.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Planning help
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space, if you can
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
