Corporate paella catering near Newtown
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Newtown, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Newtown questions
Is Newtown close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could we have live paella in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
