Corporate paella catering for your work event in Ashey
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Typical bookings include team-building days and christmas and end-of-year parties, serving canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches.
At country venues around Ashey, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Business events near Ashey
Ashey is about 2 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We cook at work events in gardens, halls and venues around Ashey and nearby villages. Ashey is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Ashey to Southampton (18 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Nunwell House (1.5 miles south-east) and Morton Manor (2.3 miles south-east). For a client event at a historic house or estate, ask early about catering rules and where cooking is allowed. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

Nearby, we also cater work events in Adgestone (2 miles south-east), Brading (2 miles south-east), Morton (2 miles south-east), Alverstone Garden Village (2 miles south) and Yarbridge (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (5 miles west), Cowes (7 miles north-west), Sandown (3 miles south), Shanklin (5 miles south), Ventnor (7 miles south) and East Cowes (6 miles north-west). Some remote venues need extra planning, so contact us in good time.
A little further out are Sandown Castle (3.3 miles south-east) and Cothey Bottom Heritage Centre (2 miles north-east). Not far away are Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brading Down.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
