Corporate paella catering for your work event in Swalecliffe
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater client hospitality and christmas and end-of-year parties.
For businesses around Swalecliffe, an outdoor team lunch or summer party is easy to arrange with live paella. Tell us about the site and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Swalecliffe, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Plan cover in case of rain

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
