About our corporate paella catering in Tilford
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event. For summer staff parties and away days and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
At country venues around Tilford, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Tilford questions
Can you cook in Thundry Meadows?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Tilford close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Tilford, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, 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.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
