How our corporate paella catering works in Hiltingbury
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. On the menu are paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity days and training days and conferences.
Teams near Hiltingbury frequently go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
What happens on the day
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Hiltingbury, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

Common questions in Hiltingbury
Is Hiltingbury close to London?
About 66 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Hiltingbury for guests?
Chandlers Ford station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will see what works.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Live paella or other catering?
For catering that’s part of the event, live paella stands out. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why book with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
