Corporate paella catering in Redhill, cooked live
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Whether it is company summer parties and training days and conferences, we can cook canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food for your guests.
Work events in Redhill are frequently at the office, a local venue or an outdoor space nearby. Paella feeds a team fast and covers every diet. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Redhill, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Tell us when you want to eat

What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Canapé tapas
- Desserts
- Bowl food
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Drinks service
- Paella lunches
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
