Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Corporate paella catering in Willen, cooked live
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater office lunches and away days and christmas parties.
Team away days in the countryside around Willen suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. In Willen, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
