About our corporate paella catering in Rogate
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events, at offices, hired venues and outdoor spaces. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater product launches and open days and fundraisers.
Team away days in the countryside around Rogate suit 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.
Rogate for staff parties and team days
Rogate is about 4 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We cook at work events in homes, gardens and venues in Rogate and nearby villages. Rogate is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Rogate to Guildford (20 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Uppark (4.1 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for caterers. Central London is about 47 miles from Rogate, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. With the South Downs National Park within about 3 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
