Corporate paella catering in St Leonards, cooked live
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. We’re often asked to cater team-building events and client and customer events, with Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas.
For businesses around St Leonards, an outdoor team lunch or summer party is easy to arrange with live paella. Tell us about the site and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
How the day works

- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.

Could we have live paella in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.

How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
