Corporate paella catering for Cobham events
Corporate paella catering in Cobham, made fresh on the day
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. Typical bookings include conferences and training days and charity and fundraising events, serving paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
Teams near Cobham often go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.
How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. After-work summer parties in Cobham have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Central London is about 17 miles from Cobham, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. Nearby historic houses include The Homewood (1.2 miles north) and Byfleet Manor (2.9 miles west).

For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Cobham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Cobham for guests?
Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you cover Cobham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Cobham is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
