Live corporate paella catering in Farnborough
How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Farnborough, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Corporate paella catering in Farnborough, cooked live
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. For summer parties for staff and client hospitality, we can cook Spanish desserts, paella lunches and bowl food.
For offices in and around Farnborough, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

FAQs for Farnborough
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook in South Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
How we price corporate paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
