Corporate paella catering in Redlands, cooked live
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. Whether it’s customer events and product launches and open days, we will put together a menu of paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas and more.
An away day near Redlands is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Redlands, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.

What corporate paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space, if you can
