Corporate paella catering for your work event in Poulner
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. For open days and launches and christmas parties, we can cook paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Work events near Poulner might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How does payment work for businesses?

How we price corporate paella catering
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d cook
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Get facilities approval early
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Ask staff about diets in advance
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Poulner, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check the venue allows live cooking
