Corporate paella catering in Epsom Downs, made fresh on the day
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. We’re often asked to cater team-building events and open days and launches, serving bowl food, canapé tapas and paella lunches.
Team away days in the countryside around Epsom Downs suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why Epsom Downs hosts choose us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Epsom Downs questions
How far is Epsom Downs from London?
About 14 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Epsom Downs?
Epsom Downs has its own station: Epsom Downs station.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you cover Epsom Downs?

Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests are eating
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Epsom Downs, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
