Corporate paella catering for Warborne events
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Warborne have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
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.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
