Corporate paella catering in Bilsham, made fresh on the day
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. On the menu are Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we are frequently booked for training days and conferences and customer events.
Team away days in the countryside around Bilsham suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Questions from Bilsham
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station should guests use for Bilsham?
Barnham station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. December events in Bilsham are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.
Why choose live paella in Bilsham?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
