About our corporate paella catering in Westfield

A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Whether it is fundraisers and launches and open days, we can cook paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts for your guests.

Team away days in the countryside around Westfield suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

The process

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Westfield, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and diets

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Is Westfield too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you cater in Westfield?

Is it really cooked live?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

How much is live paella catering?

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.

How long does the paella take?

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

What affects the price in Westfield

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • How many courses
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • The length of service
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • The courses you’d like
  • The date and time of the event
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Diets and allergies you know about

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Perfect for your work event in Westfield

Nobody is left out: every diet gets a hot main.

Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:

  • Team days
  • Away days and office lunches
  • Summer parties for staff
  • Client and customer events

Historic houses near Westfield include Durhamford Manor (3.3 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for caterers.

  • Think about shade and seating
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us

We leave the space as we found it.
