Corporate paella catering in Hound, cooked live
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for charity and fundraising events and away days and office lunches.
For rural venues near Hound, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

- A quote that spells everything out
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Hound, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Questions from Hound
Which station should guests use for Hound?
Hound has its own station: Netley station.
Can you cook near the sea around Hound?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cover Hound?
We do. We cook at events in Hound and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
