Corporate paella catering in Grove, made fresh on the day
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. For launches and open days and christmas and end-of-year parties, we can cook canapé tapas, paella lunches and bowl food and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Grove suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Common questions in Grove
Is Grove close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.
Bowl food for standing events.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What you get with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
