About our corporate paella catering in Heyshott
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We cook paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater product launches and open days and summer staff parties.
An away day near Heyshott is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

What else we do in Heyshott
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
