About our corporate paella catering in Medmenham
For client events, presentation matters: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. Popular choices include paella lunches, bowl food and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater company summer parties and team lunches.
An away day near Medmenham is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Corporate events around Medmenham
Medmenham is about 3 miles south-west of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. Tell us where your work event in Medmenham will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Medmenham is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we cook. You can also see our page for Reading, about 9 miles away.
Central London is about 32 miles from Medmenham, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. Nearby historic houses include Harleyford Manor (1.3 miles east) and Greenlands (2 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for caterers. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 8 miles, which suits team away days in the countryside.
We cater work events across the SL7 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Bockmer Lane and Ferry Lane; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella. For work events just outside Medmenham, we cover Bockmer End (1 mile north-east), Frogmill (1 mile south-east), Danesfield (1 mile east), Mill End (1 mile west) and Aston (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover High Wycombe (6 miles north-east), Chesham (15 miles north-east), Marlow (3 miles north-east), Amersham (13 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (9 miles north-east) and Chalfont St Peter (13 miles east).

How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. December events in Medmenham are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

We leave the space as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
Medmenham questions
What’s the nearest station to Medmenham for guests?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we will provide it.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For event organisers in Medmenham
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
