Corporate paella catering in Stoke, cooked live
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are frequently booked for fundraisers and customer events.
At country venues around Stoke, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form

Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
