Your questions about corporate paella catering in Brighstone
Do you come out to small places like Brighstone?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. Find your area.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Brighstone, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.
- 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 in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

How we price corporate paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
Is live paella right for your work event?

What you get with us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
For somewhere as remote as Brighstone, early notice helps us plan the trip.
