Corporate paella catering in Four Throws, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Whether it is conference lunches and summer staff parties, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas for your guests.
Team away days in the countryside around Four Throws suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Four Throws, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Four Throws questions
How far is Four Throws from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Four Throws?
The closest is Etchingham station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we will provide it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Where we can cook in Four Throws
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Menu ideas
- Paella lunches
- Canapé tapas
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Desserts
- Drinks service

Paella compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Drinks service on request
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Real theatre, not just catering
