Corporate paella catering for your work event in Nuthurst
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. We cook canapé tapas, bowl food and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater training days and conferences and team-building events.
Team away days in the countryside around Nuthurst suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. For a Christmas party in Nuthurst, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Is live paella right for your work event?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Served hot, straight from the pan
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Nuthurst: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Nuthurst?
The closest is Horsham station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Could we have live paella in Leonardslee?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you come to Nuthurst?
We do. Nuthurst is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
