Corporate paella catering in Gerrards Cross, made fresh on the day

Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Typical bookings include away days and office lunches and client and customer events, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.

Around Gerrards Cross, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

How it works

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. After-work summer parties in Gerrards Cross have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Parking and unloading
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • The length of service
  • Guest numbers

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The courses you’d like
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • The venue or postcode
  • The date and time of the event

Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

What we need at the venue

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

FAQs for Gerrards Cross

Is Gerrards Cross close to London?

About 21 miles from central London.

Can you cook in Bulstrode Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

What happens if it rains?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.

What about pudding?

We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.

Do you cook at offices in central London?

Courtyards and terraces frequently work, if the building allows it.

What paperwork do you have?

Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we will respond.

Do you cook inside?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Catering for every guest

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Let us know how long people have to eat

We leave the space as we found it.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

Planners, venues and businesses

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
