Live corporate paella catering in Hillhead
How our corporate paella catering works in Hillhead
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events. For company summer parties and office lunches and away days, we will put together a menu of bowl food, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella.
An away day near Hillhead is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many staff you need
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas

Hillhead questions
Which station should guests use for Hillhead?
Hamble station, about 4.3 miles north of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Paella compared with other options
For catering that’s part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

Working with your venue

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.

Should I cook it myself?
