About our corporate paella catering in Henhurst
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we will work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and client and customer events, with paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
For rural venues near Henhurst, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

FAQs for Henhurst
Do you come out to small places like Henhurst?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in Jeskyns?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Henhurst?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

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. For a Christmas party in Henhurst, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.

Planning help
