Corporate paella catering in Hooe Common
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Hooe Common have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Get facilities approval early
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
