Corporate paella catering in Chale, made fresh on the day
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. On the menu are bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we are often booked for conference lunches and fundraisers.
An away day near Chale is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

What else we do in Chale
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Tell us how long the food break is
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
What’s in the pans
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
Work events in Chale: access and travel
Chale is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your work event in Chale, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Chale is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cook. Our events stretch from Chale to Southampton (about 22 miles away).
The coast is within about 6 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
For corporate paella catering in PO38, we plan around your venue and your guests. Streets in the area include Church Place, Upper House Lane and Blythe Shute, and we can cook for a work event on any of them. If your venue is just outside Chale, we also cover Blackgang (1 mile south-east), Pyle (1 mile north-west), Chale Green (1 mile north), Atherfield Green (1 mile north-west) and Niton (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (8 miles north-east), Shanklin (7 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles east). If your work event is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Well-known places in the area include Whitecroft Hospital (5.2 miles north) and Blackgang Sawmill Museum (0.6 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Stenbury Down.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Chale is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Chale: your questions answered
Is Chale too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Chale?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Chale?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Chale is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. In Chale, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
- How long we are needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
