Corporate paella catering in Prestonville, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We cook paella lunches, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are often booked for open days and launches and charity and fundraising events.
Around Prestonville, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Prestonville, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Organising a club, school or community event in Prestonville? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

- Add a diet question to the sign-up form

What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
