We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. For training days and conferences and summer staff parties, we can cook paella lunches, canapé tapas and bowl food and more.
For offices in and around West Barnes, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Get facilities approval early
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We serve at the agreed time, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff.
Why choose live paella in West Barnes?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

- The length of service

- How many staff you need
