Pans and serving points are planned around your schedule, so even a big team eats quickly. We’re often asked to cater product launches and open days and team-building days, with bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.

An away day near Goddard's Green is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

How we price corporate paella catering

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • The length of service
  • Whether you need crockery
  • The number of people

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

What we need to know

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • What the venue already provides
  • Where the event is
  • Expected numbers

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Catering for every guest

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Tell us how long the food break is

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Which station should guests use for Goddard's Green?

Mortimer station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.

Is Goddard's Green too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

What areas do you cover?

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

What happens if it rains?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

What documents can you provide?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.

How long do you need on site?

We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

What we need at the venue

We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
