Should I cook it myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

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.

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Walderton

Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. We cook paella lunches, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for end-of-year celebrations and team-building events.

Team away days in the countryside around Walderton suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up

Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
