Your questions about corporate paella catering in North Stoneham

Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you come to North Stoneham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and North Stoneham is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, use our quote form.

Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

Courtyards and terraces frequently work, subject to the building’s rules.

Planning a team event in North Stoneham
North Stoneham is about 2 miles south-west of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Whether your work event is in the middle of North Stoneham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. North Stoneham is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cook.
Central London is about 67 miles from North Stoneham, so it is a practical spot for away days and team events. Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (1.3 miles south) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (4 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for caterers. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
Anywhere in SO50, we can cook for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your work event is on Turnor Way and Stoneham Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the pans to you. Close by, we cover work events in Swaythling (1 mile south), Bassett Green (1 mile south), Mansbridge (1 mile south-east), Eastleigh (2 miles north-east) and Boyatt Wood (2 miles north-east). We also cook in nearby towns such as Winchester (8 miles north), Gosport (14 miles south-east), Fareham (11 miles south-east), Totton (6 miles south-west), Hedge End (4 miles south-east) and Romsey (5 miles north-west).

Step by step
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 the timing is planned around your event. In North Stoneham, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- 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.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
