Corporate paella catering near West End
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. After-work summer parties in West End have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Live paella or other catering?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- A clear, itemised quote
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
