Live corporate paella catering in Shanklin Village

How our corporate paella catering works in Shanklin Village

A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and fundraisers.

Around Shanklin Village, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Is live paella right for your work event?

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Why us?

  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Everything cooked fresh at your event
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan

For planners, venues and organisers

Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Shanklin Village? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

Step by step

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Shanklin Village, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Questions from Shanklin Village

What about parking in Shanklin Village?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.

Can you cook in Manor Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Do you cook at offices in central London?

Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Can you do a team-building activity?

Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

Do you work in winter?

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