About our corporate paella catering in Little Hungerford

A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook Spanish desserts, bowl food and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater client and customer events and company summer parties.

For rural venues near Little Hungerford, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

DIY paella versus live catering

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Why choose live paella in Little Hungerford?

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

What you get with us

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Events in Little Hungerford and across West Berkshire
  • Fast service from the pan

The process

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. December events in Little Hungerford are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

Questions from Little Hungerford

How far is Little Hungerford from London?

Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Do you come to Little Hungerford?

Yes, we do. We cook at events in Little Hungerford and across West Berkshire. Send us your date to check availability.

How do you work out quantities?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Can you cook indoors?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Can the team help cook?

Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Prices and what affects them

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • The number of people
  • The length of service

There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Anything your venue supplies

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
