Corporate paella catering for The Brents events
How our corporate paella catering works in The Brents
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. For company summer parties and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of bowl food, canapé tapas and paella lunches and more.
Around The Brents, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
