Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Think about shade and seating
- Share the timings for food
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Corporate paella catering in Queen Street, cooked live
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. Whether it’s client hospitality and conference lunches, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around Queen Street suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
What affects the price in Queen Street
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Parking and unloading
- How long we are needed on site
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. After-work summer parties in Queen Street have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
