How our corporate paella catering works in Enstone
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. On the menu are Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and conferences and training days.
At country venues around Enstone, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. After-work summer parties in Enstone have daylight until about 9:30pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
