About our corporate paella catering in Pollhill
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. On the menu are paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for team days and end-of-year celebrations.
Team away days in the countryside around Pollhill suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.
Questions from Pollhill
Is Pollhill close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in Kiln Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
How much space do you need?
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’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can the team help cook?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will see what works.
Paella compared with other options
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

What else we do in Pollhill
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
