How our corporate paella catering works in Hatch Warren
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Typical bookings include end-of-year celebrations and team-building days, serving bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches.
Work events near Hatch Warren might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Paella suits all of them. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Hatch Warren have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share the timings for food
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Crockery and staff can be added.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
