Corporate paella catering in Nyewood, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater launches and open days and summer parties for staff.
An away day near Nyewood is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

FAQs for Nyewood
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Nyewood 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.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
