How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Coursehorn are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

How our corporate paella catering works in Coursehorn
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Typical bookings include charity and fundraising events and conference lunches, serving canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
At country venues around Coursehorn, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Coursehorn: your questions answered
How far is Coursehorn from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Is Coursehorn too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will confirm with facilities.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
