Corporate paella catering in Mowshurst, made fresh on the day
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We’re often asked to cater open days and launches and conferences and training days, serving bowl food, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella.
For rural venues near Mowshurst, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Mowshurst questions
Is Mowshurst close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Mowshurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. There’s 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. We itemise everything in your quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
