Corporate paella catering in Shipley
Step by step
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. December events in Shipley are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Shipley for staff parties and team days
Shipley is about 6 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. For corporate paella catering in Shipley, we cater in back gardens, halls with outdoor space, barns, marquees and offices in and around Shipley. We cook in 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Shipley to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Billingshurst station, about 4 miles north-west.
This part of West Sussex takes in RH13, and we can cater your work event anywhere in it. That could mean a work event in a garden on Church Close and School Lane. If your venue is just outside Shipley, we also cover Whitehall (1 mile south-west), Dragons Green (1 mile north), Broomer's Corner (1 mile south-west), Dial Post (2 miles south) and West Grinstead (2 miles east).

Is live paella right for your work event?
For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Drinks service on request
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Fast service from the pan

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
