Live corporate paella catering in Woodside
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. In Woodside, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- 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.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Corporate paella catering in Woodside, cooked live
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for team-building events and launches and open days.
In Woodside, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Let us know about access and loading. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Other catering in Woodside
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff.
Paella lunches
A paella lunch feeds a team fast, with every diet covered.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Let us know how long people have to eat
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Canapés for drinks receptions.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
