Corporate paella catering in Somerley
Corporate paella catering in Somerley, cooked live
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Whether it’s summer parties for staff and office lunches and away days, we will put together a menu of paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food and more.
An away day near Somerley is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Common questions in Somerley
How far is Somerley from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook near the sea around Somerley?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you cover Somerley?
Yes, we do. Somerley is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook at our office?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
