Corporate paella catering in Whitehill, made fresh on the day
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and client hospitality, serving Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Work events near Whitehill might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Why choose live paella in Whitehill?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

For event organisers in Whitehill
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Whitehill, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
