How our corporate paella catering works in Upton
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. We cook canapé tapas, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re often booked for conferences and training days and fundraisers.
For businesses around Upton, an outdoor team lunch or summer party is easy to arrange with live paella. Tell us about the site and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
How we price corporate paella catering

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. December events in Upton are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
