Live corporate paella catering in Durley Street
Corporate paella catering in Durley Street, made fresh on the day
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. For client and customer events and away days and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Durley Street suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. December events in Durley Street are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Common questions in Durley Street
What’s the nearest station to Durley Street for guests?
Hedge End station, about 2.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Durley Street close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What corporate paella catering costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The number of people
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
