Corporate paella catering in Allington, made fresh on the day
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We’re often asked to cater charity and fundraising events and conference lunches, serving Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas.
Work events near Allington might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Allington: your questions answered
Can you cook in Whatman Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Allington close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the team help cook?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What paperwork do you have?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
