How our corporate paella catering works in Stoke Charity
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. We cook Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas, and we are frequently booked for open days and launches and summer staff parties.
At country venues around Stoke Charity, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Stoke Charity are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
