About our corporate paella catering in Woodcote Green
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. We are frequently asked to cater company summer parties and christmas and end-of-year parties, with paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.
Around Woodcote Green, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams usually need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Get facilities approval early
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Have water and soft drinks available
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
