About our corporate paella catering in Monkwood
For client events, presentation matters: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. On the menu are bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re often booked for office lunches and away days and team-building days.
At country venues around Monkwood, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why us?
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Catering across Hampshire, including Monkwood

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. December events in Monkwood are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
