About our corporate paella catering in Farnham Common
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. For conferences and training days and summer staff parties, we’ll put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and canapé tapas for your guests.
An away day near Farnham Common is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Is live paella right for your work event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Questions from Farnham Common
What’s the nearest station to Farnham Common for guests?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Is Farnham Common too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

The process

- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
