Corporate paella catering for West Yoke events
How our corporate paella catering works in West Yoke
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. On the menu are paella lunches, canapé tapas and bowl food, and typical bookings are for fundraisers and open days and launches.
Team away days in the countryside around West Yoke suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
How we price corporate paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- Travel, parking and access
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and rough timings
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
