About our corporate paella catering in Tilehurst
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. On the menu are canapé tapas, bowl food and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater office lunches and away days and charity and fundraising events.
Work events near Tilehurst might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Paella suits all of them. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
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.
How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. December events in Tilehurst are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We check the date and venue.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
