Corporate paella catering for Little Somborne events
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Little Somborne
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. For launches and open days and christmas parties, we can cook canapé tapas, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella for your guests.
Team away days in the countryside around Little Somborne suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
We adapt if timings change.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Little Somborne have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

How we price corporate paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours
- Parking and unloading
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Waiting and bar staff
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Little Somborne: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Little Somborne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Little Somborne from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cover Little Somborne?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Little Somborne. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
