Corporate paella catering in Albourne, made fresh on the day
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. We cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas and end-of-year parties and team-building days.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Albourne
Which station should guests use for Albourne?
Hassocks station, about 2.8 miles east of the centre.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
For event organisers in Albourne
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Albourne, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A proper vegetarian or vegan main, in its own pan.
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing and networking events.
What affects the price in Albourne
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote

- Expected numbers
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
