Corporate paella catering for Busbridge events
Corporate paella catering in Busbridge, made fresh on the day
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. On the menu are canapé tapas, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater customer events and team lunches.
Team away days in the countryside around Busbridge suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Questions from Busbridge
Can you cook in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
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 follow the site rules.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, if the building allows it.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
What paperwork do you have?
Send us the venue’s requirements.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many staff you need
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. December events in Busbridge are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us when you want to eat

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
