Corporate paella catering for Offham events

Common questions in Offham

Do you come out to small places like Offham?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you cook in Railway Land?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Offham?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you work in winter?

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.

Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.

Can you cook indoors?

Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Paella compared with other options

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Why Offham hosts choose us

  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • A quote that spells everything out

What corporate paella catering costs

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • How many staff you need
  • How many guests are eating
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Timings and hours

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Planning for every diet

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Think about shade and seating
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies

We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

Our caterer checklist

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The process

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. December events in Offham are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Ask for a quote

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
