Corporate paella catering for Horley events
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. For a Christmas party in Horley, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Horley
Is Horley too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Horley?
Banbury station, about 3.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
