Corporate paella catering for your work event in Nettlecombe
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We’re often asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and fundraisers, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
An away day near Nettlecombe 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 the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Nettlecombe, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

Nettlecombe questions
Do you come out to small places like Nettlecombe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Nettlecombe?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
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.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Nettlecombe.
