About our corporate paella catering in Stoke D'Abernon
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Whether it’s customer events and conference lunches, we can cook canapé tapas, bowl food and Spanish desserts.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Stoke D'Abernon are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Stoke D'Abernon
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station should guests use for Stoke D'Abernon?
Stoke D'Abernon has its own station: Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
What paperwork do you have?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
