Corporate paella catering for Pitch Place events

How our corporate paella catering works in Pitch Place

For client events, presentation matters: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. Typical bookings include charity days and christmas and end-of-year parties, with Spanish desserts, bowl food and paella lunches.

An away day near Pitch Place is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What we need at the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Popular choices

  • Canapé tapas
  • Vegan & vegetarian pans
  • Bowl food
  • Paella lunches
  • Drinks service

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Pitch Place

Could we have live paella in The Flashes?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

How far is Pitch Place from London?

About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cater a winter event?

With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Do you cater for young children?

Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.

Do you cook inside?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Can you cook in the rain?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

DIY paella versus live catering

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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

How to compare caterers

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details

We adapt if timings change.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

What’s in the pans

Canapé tapas

Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff.

Vegan and vegetarian pans

Separate pans with plant-based stock, so everyone eats well.

What happens on the day

Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Pitch Place, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.
