Corporate paella catering in Alscot, cooked live

Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Typical bookings include christmas parties and training days and conferences, with bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.

An away day near Alscot is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 will do the cooking.

Alscot: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Alscot for guests?

Monks Risborough station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.

Is Alscot close to London?

Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can you cater for children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.

Do you cook at offices in central London?

Courtyards and terraces frequently work, subject to the building’s rules.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can we pay by invoice?

Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll talk you through it.

Step by step

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Alscot are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

How to prepare

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Planning help

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking

The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.

Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.

How to compare caterers

What you get with us

  • Sangria and bar staff available
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
