Corporate paella catering for Holbury events
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Holbury
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. Typical bookings include charity days and training days and conferences, serving Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
For businesses around Holbury, an outdoor team lunch or summer party is easy to arrange with live paella. Tell us about the site and access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. In Holbury, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Holbury
Which station should guests use for Holbury?
Netley station, about 3.8 miles north-east of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What affects the price in Holbury
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
Live paella or other catering?
For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
