Corporate paella catering in Milton Common, cooked live
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. For christmas and end-of-year parties and charity days, we will put together a menu of paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
An away day near Milton Common is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Milton Common, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

FAQs for Milton Common
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Is Milton Common too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
How many different paellas?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
