Corporate paella catering for your work event in Statenborough
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Popular choices include bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater training days and conferences and end-of-year celebrations.
Team away days in the countryside around Statenborough suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. In Statenborough, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Statenborough
Could we have live paella in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
