How our corporate paella catering works in Ripley
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. For launches and open days and christmas and end-of-year parties, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches for your guests.
For rural venues near Ripley, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
- Which courses you have in mind
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ripley? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Ripley
Is Ripley close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Ripley for guests?
The closest is Clandon station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Ripley, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
