Live corporate paella catering in Compton
Corporate paella catering in Compton, made fresh on the day
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Typical bookings include client hospitality and open days and launches, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and paella lunches.
For rural venues near Compton, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
What affects the price in Compton
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Crockery and staff can be added.

Compton: your questions answered
How far is Compton from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Compton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

What we need at the venue
