How our corporate paella catering works in Compton
For client events, presentation matters: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. On the menu are Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and we are often booked for christmas parties and summer parties for staff.
An away day near Compton is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Compton: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Compton?
Farnham station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Moor Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll provide it.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.

How we price corporate paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of where we’d cook
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
Where we can cook in Compton
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
