- Fast service, then we clear away.

Corporate paella catering in South Weirs, cooked live
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Typical bookings include client and customer events and open days and launches, with vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and paella lunches.
For rural venues near South Weirs, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Drinks service on request
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Events in South Weirs and across Hampshire

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- The courses you’d like
Send us the date, your venue or SO42 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
