About our corporate paella catering in Farnham
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. We’re often asked to cater conferences and training days and summer staff parties, serving canapé tapas, bowl food and paella lunches.
A summer party at the office in Farnham is easy with live paella, if the site allows it. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. In Farnham, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

How we price corporate paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Guest numbers
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Which courses you have in mind
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
- Roughly how many adults and children
To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Farnham, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
