Corporate paella catering in Eversley Centre, cooked live

An away day near Eversley Centre is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Eversley Centre, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or 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

About the dishes

Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing and networking events.
Canapé tapas
Canapés suit launches and client events.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
