About our corporate paella catering in Cippenham
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. On the menu are Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater office lunches and away days and team days.
Around Cippenham, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Facilities approval and any site rules

FAQs for Cippenham
Can you cook in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Cippenham close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Do you cater in Cippenham?
We do. We cook at events in Cippenham and across Slough. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How it works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. In Cippenham, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

How we price corporate paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The paellas you choose
- Waiting and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your work event, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
