Work events across Portsmouth

Portsmouth: By road, Portsmouth is on or near the A3 and A27, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van and equipment.

Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

DIY paella versus live catering

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Paella compared with other options

Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Portsmouth

Can you do a team-building activity?

Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.

Can you cook indoors?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

What about pudding?

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, Portsmouth included. See all areas.

How much is live paella catering?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you do starters?

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
