About our corporate paella catering in Ningwood
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Whether it’s product launches and open days and charity days, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Team away days in the countryside around Ningwood suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why book with us
- A clear, itemised quote
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Served hot, straight from the pan
See Our prices page And The cost guide.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Share the timings for food
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
The space is left clean and tidy.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
Ningwood questions
Can you cook near the sea around Ningwood?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Ningwood too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How many paellas should we have?
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.
For event organisers in Ningwood
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Other catering in Ningwood
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
