Corporate paella catering for The Hale events
How our corporate paella catering works in The Hale
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Popular choices include bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for office lunches and away days and charity and fundraising events.
For offices in and around The Hale, the cooking spot is generally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. December events in The Hale are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.

- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
