Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.

How it works

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. December events in Crowell are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Tell us where to park and unload

Common questions in Crowell

Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Is Crowell close to London?

Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

Do you do desserts?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

Do you provide drinks?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

What documents can you provide?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.

Is halal food available?

Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

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.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs

Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.

Bar staff and sangria on request.
