Corporate paella catering in Roke, made fresh on the day
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We cook Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re frequently booked for fundraisers and christmas parties.
An away day near Roke is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

Roke: your questions answered
Is Roke too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Roke close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will see what works.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.

Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Roke, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
