How our corporate paella catering works in Swift's Green

Team away days in the countryside around Swift's Green suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

What affects the price in Swift's Green
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and unloading
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Swift's Green, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
