Corporate paella catering near Hook
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Hook, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hook? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Somewhere close to park and unload
As a London location, Hook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Questions from Hook
Can you cook in Stokes Field?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
