How our corporate paella catering works in Bagmore
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Whether it’s away days and office lunches and team days, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, paella lunches and bowl food and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Bagmore suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
The menu, dish by dish
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Get facilities approval early
- Share the timings for food
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Think about shade and seating
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.

Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:

Corporate events around Bagmore
Bagmore is about 5 miles north-west of Alton, in Hampshire. From the centre of Bagmore to the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 18 miles away.
Historic houses near Bagmore include Hall Place (3 miles south) and Bentworth Hall (3.5 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for caterers. Central London is about 46 miles from Bagmore, so it’s a practical spot for away days and team events.
Anywhere in RG25, we can bring corporate paella catering to you. We also cook at work events in Southrope (1 mile east), Burkham (1 mile south-west), Shalden Green (2 miles east), Bradley (3 miles south-west) and Bentworth (3 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Basingstoke (5 miles north-west), Winchester (15 miles south-west), Farnborough (14 miles north-east), Fleet (11 miles north-east), Aldershot (13 miles east) and Alton (5 miles south-east).

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything your venue supplies
- The courses you’d like
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
