Corporate paella catering in Romsey, made fresh on the day

For client events, presentation matters: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. We cook canapé tapas, paella lunches and bowl food, and typical bookings are for training days and conferences and end-of-year celebrations.

Work events in Romsey are often at the office, a local venue or an outdoor space nearby. Paella feeds a team fast and covers every diet. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Your choice of paellas
  • The number of people
  • Timings and hours

There is 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.

Getting an accurate quote

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • What the venue already provides

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Before you choose a spot

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

The process

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. December events in Romsey are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

Romsey: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Romsey for guests?

Romsey station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.

Is Romsey close to London?

About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Can you serve drinks?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

Can you do a team-building activity?

Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll see what works.

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Do you work in winter?

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:

  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Think about shade and seating

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
