Live corporate paella catering in Burpham
How our corporate paella catering works in Burpham
At client events, presentation counts: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. Whether it’s summer parties for staff and launches and open days, we’ll put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Work events near Burpham might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Paella suits all of them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Burpham: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station should guests use for Burpham?
London Road (Guildford) station, about 1.4 miles south-west of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Paella compared with other options
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
