Corporate paella catering in Andover
How our corporate paella catering works in Andover
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. We’re often asked to cater summer parties for staff and product launches and open days, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and bowl food.
A summer party at the office in Andover is easy with live paella, as long as the site allows cooking. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Paella compared with other options
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

What corporate paella catering costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Andover, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
