Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Is live paella right for your work event?
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- We cover Romford and the whole of Greater London
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. December events in Romford are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- What the venue already provides
