How our corporate paella catering works in Crampmoor
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for launches and open days and away days and office lunches.
At country venues around Crampmoor, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For event organisers in Crampmoor
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Why choose live paella in Crampmoor?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Crampmoor questions
How far is Crampmoor from London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Crampmoor for guests?
Romsey station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
What affects the price in Crampmoor
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many courses
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Which courses you have in mind
- Where the event is
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
