About corporate paella catering in Southampton

Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we will work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we are frequently booked for client hospitality and fundraisers.

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Business events across Southampton

Work events across Southampton are frequently in Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park, at offices, business parks and hired venues, with team days at country venues further out. We agree access and timings with the site. 40 of the places we cover in Southampton are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot for the wind, and seafood paella is popular.

Southampton: By road, Southampton is on or near the A27 and A33, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van and equipment. For staff and clients coming by train, St Denys station is in Southampton itself. For a Christmas party in Southampton, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

What we need at the venue

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking

Planners, venues and businesses

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Questions from Southampton

Do you take everything away?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Can you cook indoors?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.

Can you cater for children?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Do you do vegan paella?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

What happens if it rains?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
