Paella & Spanish Catering
Paella is at the center of what we do. Our chefs bring the kitchen to your event and prepare the paella fresh on site in our oversized pans. Guests can watch the ingredients come together while the paella cooks, making dinner part of the experience rather than something that simply appears from a catering kitchen.
Keep it simple with paella and a few tapas, or let our team build a larger event around it with cocktail hour, staffing, bar service, rentals and more. We cater weddings, corporate events and private celebrations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
No space for live cooking? Our team can also discuss using a kitchen at your venue or bringing the food prepared, depending on the event.
From the Team Behind La Marcha
Ñora is from the team behind La Marcha Tapas Bar in Berkeley, recognized by the MICHELIN Guide and certified by Restaurants from Spain. Our roots are in restaurants, and we bring the same attention to ingredients, cooking and hospitality to every event we cater.
What started with paella at Bay Area festivals grew into Ñora Spanish Catering and eventually La Marcha. Toda the restaurant and catering company remain closely connected, sharing the same approach to Spanish food and the same belief that the food should be one of the most memorable parts of the event.

Paella, Perfected.

Spanish Grazing Tables & Tapas
Our Spanish grazing tables are built by the foot or can take over an entire table, turning cocktail hour into one of the visual centerpieces of the event. They’re abundant, colorful and designed for guests to gather around as soon as they arrive.
Each spread is built around a changing selection of artisanal Spanish cheeses, cured meats, olives, membrillo, conservas, breads and other small bites, arranged generously across the table rather than presented as a standard cheese board.
Add passed tapas such as tortilla española or stuffed piquillo peppers, or make a staffed jamón carving station part of the experience, with Serrano or Ibérico sliced for guests during cocktail hour.
From there, move into live paella for dinner and finish with churros or a dessert bar. Our team can help build the progression around your guest count, venue and style of event.

Weddings
Paella is a natural fit for weddings because the cooking becomes part of the celebration. Our chefs can prepare dinner live during cocktail hour while guests enjoy passed tapas and drinks, then serve the finished paellas buffet-style, family-style or plated.
We can keep things simple with food and chefs, or help manage the full food and beverage experience with staffing, bartending, rentals, setup, service and cleanup. Our team works closely with couples, planners, coordinators and venues to make sure the details come together smoothly.
Corporate Events
Ñora caters company celebrations, client receptions, executive dinners, holiday parties, product launches, retreats, conferences, fundraisers and galas throughout the Bay Area. Live paella gives larger events a natural focal point and gives guests something to experience together while the meal is being prepared.
Events can range from paella and tapas to a complete food and beverage program with passed hors d’oeuvres, family-style or plated service, staffing, bartending, rentals, setup and cleanup. Ñora has catered events for organizations including Google, Apple, Pixar and Dolby.
Our Corporate Clients Include:
Private Parties
Our portable paella setup makes Ñora especially well suited to private parties. We can cook at homes, outdoor spaces and rented venues throughout the Bay Area, including many locations without a traditional catering kitchen.
We cater birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, family reunions, celebrations of life, showers, holiday parties and other gatherings. You can simply hire us for the food and chefs or add servers, bartenders, rentals, setup and cleanup depending on what your party needs.
Full-Service Catering
We help work out how many servers the meal needs, what belongs on the rental order and how bar service fits the schedule. Our team can review those details with you and your planner or venue, then coordinate setup, service, clearing and breakdown.
We can also coordinate beer, wine, cava, sangria and cocktail service along with glassware, bar supplies and other event needs. Through our Bay Area rental partners, we can help arrange tables, chairs, linens, tableware, heaters, tents and additional equipment when needed.
