Corporate paella catering in Hunton
How our corporate paella catering works in Hunton
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Popular choices include canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater product launches and open days and christmas and end-of-year parties.
For rural venues near Hunton, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
What affects the price in Hunton
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. In Hunton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- 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.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
