Corporate paella catering in Leatherhead, cooked live
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We are frequently asked to cater conferences and training days and client and customer events, serving Spanish desserts, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
Work events in Leatherhead are often at the office, a local venue or an outdoor space nearby. Paella feeds a team fast and covers every diet. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
FAQs for Leatherhead
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook in River Mole LNR?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
How many paellas should we have?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you come to Leatherhead?
Yes, we do. Leatherhead is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
