Live corporate paella catering in Woodway
Corporate paella catering in Woodway, cooked live
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. Typical bookings include customer events and open days and launches, serving Spanish desserts, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
An away day near Woodway is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

How the day works
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. For a Christmas party in Woodway, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- 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.

Woodway questions
Is Woodway too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Woodway close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
