Corporate paella catering in Scarborough, made fresh on the day
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. Typical bookings include christmas and end-of-year parties and product launches and open days, with canapé tapas, bowl food and paella lunches.
An away day near Scarborough is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. December events in Scarborough are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

Is live paella right for your work event?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
