PAELLA CONTEST for companies
It is time to prove what you have been promising for years at the office. That you make the best paella in the world (and beyond). That said, you will have to cook it against the clock, in teams and with strict organisation.
¿Will you manage to make a paella… or just “rice with things”?
Before adding the rice...
you will have to earn the ingredients.
The Paella Contest is a gastronomic team-building activity carried out in teams that combines an initial challenge or scavenger-hunt phase with a later phase in which the dish is cooked. Participants will have to choose and obtain the right ingredients and organise themselves like professional chefs at the cooking station.
You will be accompanied by expert chefs who will give you advice throughout the process and the instructions needed so that nobody has to rely on having cooked before. At the end comes the best part. Yes, judging the creations as they should be judged: by eating them.

How we set up a paella contest
01. We form the brigades
- We divide all participants into well-balanced teams, then present the rules and hand out the basic equipment. Each team will have its own strategy, ingredients and will have to split up to control the burners, preparation and timing.
02. We head out for the pantry
- The initial activity is a scavenger hunt and is used to obtain all the necessary ingredients. You will have to know what to prioritise, communicate properly and not use up all your energy before getting to the stoves.
03. We fire up the competition
- ¿Are your roles clear now? Then we can start cooking. We have professional chefs who will supervise and correct everything, while you deal with the unexpected.
04. We present the paella
- ¡Time! It is time to explain your proposal in front of the judges. The rice texture and flavour will of course be judged, but so will how you have organised yourselves and whether you have added a spark of creativity. Here, the spoon rules.
05. We share the table and the prize
- After the verdict. comes the best moment of the team building. We taste the paellas and present the prizes to the winners. We can round off the activity with a little music and entertainment for a cinematic evening.

¿DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

No. The activity is supervised by professional chefs or instructors who accompany the teams. You will have to divide the tasks are divided between planning, preparation, timekeeping, set-up and presentation, so there is room for all kinds of profiles.
¿Can the ingredients be adapted for allergies or dietary preferences?
Yes, provided you let us know in advance. Before the event we collect information about allergies, intolerances and preferences to ensure there is an alternative and avoid problems such as cross-contamination.
¿Where can a Paella Contest for companies be organised?
Naturally, the activity needs a large, well-ventilated area where all the right conditions for cooking are met, such as access, water and safety measures.
At Wevents we have run paella contests in Madrid and Barcelona as well as in other cities in Spain. We take care of finding the best location and managing the ingredients, utensils and staff.
¿How much does it cost to organise a Paella Contest?
The budget varies, as we first need to know the number of attendees, the venue and the additional services you want to include. The paella contest usually lasts around three hours and the minimum is 25 participants.
The basic quote includes instructors, ingredients and utensils. Drinks, entertainment, supplementary catering or a photo booth can also be added. You bring the appetite and we calculate everything else.
