How our corporate paella catering works in Norwood Hill
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events. We are often asked to cater christmas parties and team lunches, with vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Team away days in the countryside around Norwood Hill suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Norwood Hill
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Norwood Hill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What paperwork do you have?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Think about shade and seating
- Get facilities approval early
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We leave the space as we found it.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. After-work summer parties in Norwood Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Give us your final numbers and diets
