Corporate paella catering for Oakshott events
How our corporate paella catering works in Oakshott
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. For product launches and open days and end-of-year celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
An away day near Oakshott is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Why choose live paella in Oakshott?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Oakshott, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
