Corporate paella catering for Harefield events

How our corporate paella catering works in Harefield

Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Whether it is open days and launches and summer parties for staff, we’ll put together a menu of bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts for your guests.

Around Harefield, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Before you choose a spot

Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Harefield

Could we have live paella in The Green?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

What’s the nearest station to Harefield for guests?

The closest is Denham station, roughly 2 miles away.

Can you serve drinks?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

How does payment work for businesses?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Do you take everything away?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

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 picture if you’re not sure.

Can you bring crockery?

If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.

What paperwork do you have?

Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

What corporate paella catering costs

We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:

  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How many courses

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • What the venue already provides

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

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

How it works

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Harefield, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

How to prepare

  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
