Your questions about corporate paella catering in Pirbright
Do you come out to small places like Pirbright?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Pirbright?
The closest is Brookwood station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Pirbright?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

- Travel, parking and access
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
Send us the date, your venue or GU24 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. December events in Pirbright are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
