Corporate paella catering in Fawley, made fresh on the day
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. We cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and bowl food, and typical bookings are for team days and end-of-year celebrations.
Team away days in the countryside around Fawley suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Questions to ask before booking

- How many staff are coming, and for how long
- Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
- How each diet is kept separate
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why book with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- A clear, itemised quote
- We cover Fawley and the whole of Hampshire

What affects the price in Fawley
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
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’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- The courses you’d like
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Fawley: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
