Catering for every guest

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:

  • Give us diet totals and allergy details
  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us

We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.

Vegan and vegetarian pans

A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Gill's Green

Is Gill's Green close to London?

Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cook in Collingwood Nature Reserve?

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

When do you arrive?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Gill's Green.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

How many different paellas?

Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

Step by step

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. In Gill's Green, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Before we arrive

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
