Corporate paella catering in Spring Vale
How our corporate paella catering works in Spring Vale
Live paella makes lunch an activity. We cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we’re frequently booked for team days and charity and fundraising events.
An away day near Spring Vale is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Paella compared with other options
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

Spring Vale: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Spring Vale for guests?
Ryde St Johns Road station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
How far is Spring Vale from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.

Paella lunches
A choice of paellas, quick to serve to a big team.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
For somewhere as remote as Spring Vale, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
