How our corporate paella catering works in Southover
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. We are often asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and charity and fundraising events, serving canapé tapas, bowl food and Spanish desserts.
Around Southover, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Tell us how long the food break is
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
