How our corporate paella catering works in Stedham
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Popular choices include bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater client and customer events and summer staff parties.
Team away days in the countryside around Stedham suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd, with every diet covered.
Canapé tapas
Canapés suit launches and client events.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Stedham, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
