Our corporate paella catering in Hampshire

Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Typical bookings include team lunches and christmas and end-of-year parties, with vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and canapé tapas.

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Work events across Hampshire

Work events across Hampshire are frequently in Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport, at offices, business parks and hired venues, with away days at rural venues within easy reach. We agree access and timings with the site. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot for the wind.

Basingstoke: Historic houses near Basingstoke include The Vyne (2.9 miles north). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for caterers. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Basingstoke station is about 0.6 miles away. In Basingstoke, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Who books corporate paella catering?

It’s perfect for summer parties, alongside games and music.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

  • Team-building events
  • Conferences and training days
  • Product launches and open days
  • Client and customer events

What we need at the venue

Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking

Catering for every guest

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

  • Think about shade and seating
  • Get facilities approval early
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form

We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Crockery and staff can be added.

Is live paella right for you?

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the team stays
  • A clear list of what’s included
  • The venue requirements
  • What happens if it rains

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Common questions in Hampshire

Is the paella cooked on site?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

Should we have more than one paella?

Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.

How does payment work for businesses?

Let us know your company’s process, and we will explain how we work.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Can you cook at our office?

Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
