How our corporate paella catering works in Haslar
Pans and serving points are planned around your schedule, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. For end-of-year celebrations and product launches and open days, we will put together a menu of paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
At country venues around Haslar, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Haslar, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For event organisers in Haslar
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What corporate paella catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- How many guests are eating
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The courses you’d like
- Your date and when you want to eat
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Haslar
Can you cook near the sea around Haslar?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

Portsmouth Harbour station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
