Shenington: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Shenington have daylight until about 9:30pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
