Corporate paella catering in Ashurst Wood, cooked live
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for away days and office lunches and conference lunches.
An away day near Ashurst Wood is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Paella lunches
A paella lunch feeds a team fast.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Ashurst Wood, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
