Corporate paella catering near North Baddesley
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 leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. Popular choices include paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for company summer parties and launches and open days.
Around North Baddesley, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Common questions in North Baddesley
Can you cook near the sea around North Baddesley?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Which station should guests use for North Baddesley?
The closest is Romsey station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in North Baddesley, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
