Corporate paella catering for Pitchcott events
How our corporate paella catering works in Pitchcott
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We cook paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and we are often booked for customer events and conference lunches.
An away day near Pitchcott is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Is live paella right for your work event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll 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 saves passing messages back and forth.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. After-work summer parties in Pitchcott have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
