Corporate paella catering in South Street, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. For client and customer events and end-of-year celebrations, we can cook bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Team away days in the countryside around South Street suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Paella compared with other options
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

FAQs for South Street
Could we have live paella in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you come out to small places like South Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.

The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in South Street, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
