How our corporate paella catering works in Hillway
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. We’re often asked to cater company summer parties and team-building events, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
An away day near Hillway is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Share the timings for food
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.

Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Questions from Hillway
Can you cook near the sea around Hillway?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
What’s the nearest station to Hillway for guests?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, subject to the building’s rules.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
