Your questions about corporate paella catering in Liphook
How far is Liphook from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For a Christmas party in Liphook, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Share the timings for food
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Events in Liphook and across Hampshire
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
