Corporate paella catering for Wargrave events
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Wargrave
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Whether it is client and customer events and charity and fundraising events, we’ll put together a menu of paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas for your guests.
Teams near Wargrave frequently go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Live paella or other catering?

Why book with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- A clear, itemised quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
Read How we price And What paella catering costs.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- How many courses
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
