Corporate paella catering in Pyrton, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. Popular choices include paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater team-building events and fundraisers.
Team away days in the countryside around Pyrton suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Pyrton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Pyrton: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Pyrton too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will check with your facilities team.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will see what works.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
