Corporate paella catering in Rushenden, cooked live
For client events, presentation matters: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. We are frequently asked to cater team-building days and summer parties for staff, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas.
Team away days in the countryside around Rushenden suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally 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. December events in Rushenden are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why us?
