DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Hacklinge
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Whether it’s team-building events and conferences and training days, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around Hacklinge suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Desserts
- Bowl food
- Canapé tapas
- Paella lunches
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Drinks service
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. For a Christmas party in Hacklinge, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.
