About our corporate paella catering in Fareham
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. For product launches and open days and charity days, we can cook bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches and more.
In Fareham, team events tend to be at the office or a local venue. Paella feeds a team fast and covers every diet. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
