How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. After-work summer parties in Chineham have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

How our corporate paella catering works in Chineham
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Popular choices include bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for conference lunches and customer events.
Work events near Chineham might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Paella suits all of them. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Drinks service
- Bowl food
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Paella lunches
- Desserts
- Canapé tapas
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
