Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Planning a team event in Branstone
Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Branstone to the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Branstone is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our events stretch from Branstone to Southampton (20 miles away).
Historic houses near Branstone include Haseley Manor (1.2 miles north-west) and Arreton Manor (2.3 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for caterers. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
Anywhere in PO36, we can bring corporate paella catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater a work event on streets such as Branstone Farm Lane and Stockmans Close. Neighbouring places where we cater work events include Winford (1 mile east), Apse Heath (1 mile south-east), Princelett (1 mile south), Hale Common (1 mile west) and Newchurch (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Newport (5 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north-east), Cowes (8 miles north-west), Ventnor (4 miles south), East Cowes (8 miles north-west) and Oakfield (5 miles north-east).

Questions from Branstone
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Branstone?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the team help cook?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll send what you need.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll 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 make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Branstone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
