About our corporate paella catering in Cheriton
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. For team lunches and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Team away days in the countryside around Cheriton suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. December events in Cheriton are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare

Paella compared with other options

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Get facilities approval early
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Have water and soft drinks available
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
