About our corporate paella catering in Stoughton

Around Stoughton, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

FAQs for Stoughton
Can you cook in Chitty's Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cook at our office?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
- How long we are needed on site

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
