Book corporate paella catering in St Michaels
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Corporate paella catering for your work event in St Michaels
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Whether it is client hospitality and launches and open days, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around St Michaels suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking

Live paella or other catering?

- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- No hidden extras in your quote

Common questions in St Michaels
Can you cook in Turners Field?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in St Michaels are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
