Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Corporate paella catering in Barnes Street, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Whether it is team days and christmas and end-of-year parties, we can cook bowl food, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
For rural venues near Barnes Street, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
We serve at the agreed time, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.

Barnes Street questions
Which station should guests use for Barnes Street?
The closest is Beltring station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Barnes Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, if the building allows it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
