For rural venues near Alfold Crossways, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Alfold Crossways: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Fir Tree Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How far is Alfold Crossways from London?
About 33 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What paperwork do you have?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can you cook at our office?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
