Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Lickfold
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station should guests use for Lickfold?
Haslemere station, about 4.7 miles north of the centre.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How we price corporate paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we are needed on site
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Anything your venue supplies
Send us the date, your venue or GU28 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Lickfold have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

What else we do in Lickfold
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Why choose corporate paella catering in Lickfold?
It is fast to serve to a crowd, which matters when time is tight.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Team-building events
- Office lunches and away days
- Charity and fundraising events
- Open days and launches
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Haslemere station is about 4.7 miles away.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- Allergen information for each dish
- When final numbers are due
- Whether travel is included
