How our corporate paella catering works in Charvil
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. For conference lunches and team-building events, we will put together a menu of paella lunches, bowl food and Spanish desserts and more.
Around Charvil, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Charvil
Which station should guests use for Charvil?
The closest is Twyford station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
How far is Charvil from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
What space do you need to cook?
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.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Charvil for staff parties and team days
Charvil is about 2 miles north of Woodley, in Wokingham. Whether your work event is in the middle of Charvil or on the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Charvil is one of 35 towns and villages in Wokingham where we cook.
Charvil is about 34 miles from central London, so it’s a practical spot for away days and team events.
Here we cover the RG10 postcode area, and we can cater your work event anywhere in it. Local streets include Old Bath Road, Wenlock Edge and Pipistrelle Way; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Charvil, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
