Corporate paella catering for Hook Park Estate events
Corporate paella catering in Hook Park Estate, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and bowl food, and typical bookings are for team days and training days and conferences.
An away day near Hook Park Estate is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Hook Park Estate
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could we have live paella in Hamble Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.
Do you cook inside?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hook Park Estate.
How many different paellas?

The process
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Hook Park Estate, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
