How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. December events in Twydall are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us when you want to eat

How our corporate paella catering works in Twydall
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. On the menu are paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food, and we’re regularly asked to cater training days and conferences and summer staff parties.
For businesses around Twydall, an outdoor team lunch or summer party is easy to arrange with live paella. Tell us about the site and access. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
