Where we can cook in Shaw
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

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.

Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
