DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
How our corporate paella catering works in Upper Burgate
Live paella makes lunch an activity. Typical bookings include client hospitality and open days and launches, with canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
At country venues around Upper Burgate, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. After-work summer parties in Upper Burgate have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.
- 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.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
What areas do you cover?

Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Think about shade and seating
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Get facilities approval early
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
