Corporate paella catering in Compton, cooked live
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We are frequently asked to cater team-building days and summer parties for staff, with paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Team away days in the countryside around Compton suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Questions from Compton
Is Compton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
Do you come to Compton?
We do. We cook at events in Compton and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Send us the venue’s requirements.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
