Corporate paella catering in Pipsden, cooked live
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We cook Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for charity and fundraising events and summer staff parties.
An away day near Pipsden is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
How we price corporate paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Where the event is
- Which courses you have in mind
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
