About our corporate paella catering in Hambledon
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We are frequently asked to cater charity days and away days and office lunches, serving bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
For rural venues near Hambledon, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What affects the price in Hambledon
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- How many courses
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Hambledon, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
