Corporate paella catering in Totton, made fresh on the day
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, paella lunches and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater conferences and training days and summer parties for staff.
A summer party at the office in Totton is easy with live paella, if the site allows it. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Totton questions
Can you cook near the sea around Totton?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Which station should guests use for Totton?
The closest is Totton station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
The space is left clean and tidy.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Totton have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
