Corporate paella catering in Pratling Street, made fresh on the day
Pans and serving points are planned around your schedule, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. We’re often asked to cater conferences and training days and fundraisers, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and paella lunches.
For rural venues near Pratling Street, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why Pratling Street hosts choose us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- A clear, itemised quote

- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, 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.
