Live corporate paella catering in Booker

Should I cook it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

About our corporate paella catering in Booker

Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. Typical bookings include training days and conferences and office lunches and away days, serving paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food.

Around Booker, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Planning a team event in Booker

Booker is about 2 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Give us the address of your work event in Booker, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Booker is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Booker to Reading (14 miles away).

Booker is about 31 miles from central London, so it’s a practical spot for away days and team events. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: High Wycombe station is about 2.1 miles away. With the Chilterns National Landscape within about 6 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.

This part of Buckinghamshire takes in HP12, HP11 and SL7, and we can cater your work event anywhere in it. Local streets include Ash Road, New Road and Horns Lane; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella.

How it works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a Christmas party in Booker, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

How to prepare

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Booker questions

What’s the nearest station to Booker for guests?

High Wycombe station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.

How far is Booker from London?

About 31 miles from central London.

How many different paellas?

Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.

Why choose live paella in Booker?

Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Why us?

  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Real theatre, not just catering

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
