Corporate paella catering for your work event in Sarisbury
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. For product launches and open days and conferences and training days, we can cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas and more.
Around Sarisbury, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share the timings for food

Swanwick station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
How far is Sarisbury from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will see what works.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. After-work summer parties in Sarisbury have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Live paella or other catering?
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why Sarisbury hosts choose us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
