Corporate paella catering for Salehurst events
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Salehurst
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and bowl food, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and team lunches.
An away day near Salehurst is a good fit for 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.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. December events in Salehurst are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
