About our corporate paella catering in Milford
Pans and serving points are planned around your schedule, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. Typical bookings include charity days and away days and office lunches, serving bowl food, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Teams near Milford frequently go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Questions from Milford
Could we have live paella in Rodborough Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
