How our corporate paella catering works in Hailey

Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Popular choices include bowl food, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater conferences and training days and launches and open days.

An away day near Hailey is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Hailey questions

Is Hailey close to London?

About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Which station should guests use for Hailey?

Finstock station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.

Do you do desserts?

We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Do you do Christmas parties?

Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

What affects the price in Hailey

Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:

  • Guest numbers
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Timings and hours
  • The paellas you choose

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Getting an accurate quote

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Your date and when you want to eat

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Live paella or other catering?

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Why us?

  • Sangria and bar staff available
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Where we can cook in Hailey

We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

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

What we offer

  • Drinks service
  • Paella lunches
  • Desserts
  • Canapé tapas
  • Bowl food
  • Vegan & vegetarian pans

How the day works

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. After-work summer parties in Hailey have daylight until about 9:30pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
