How our corporate paella catering works in Filmore Hill
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We cook canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for office lunches and away days and client and customer events.
At country venues around Filmore Hill, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. In Filmore Hill, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Questions from Filmore Hill
How far is Filmore Hill from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Filmore Hill too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
