How our corporate paella catering works in Trotton

We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. Typical bookings include conference lunches and product launches and open days, serving paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.

At country venues around Trotton, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Catering for every guest

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details
  • Let us know how long people have to eat

We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

The process

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Trotton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

Common questions in Trotton

Is Trotton close to London?

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Is Trotton too small for live paella?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Do you cook inside?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.

How much space do you need?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

How long does the paella take?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Do you work in winter?

Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.

Live paella or other catering?

Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Why us?

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Events in Trotton and across Hampshire
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Space, weather and the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

For event organisers in Trotton

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Trotton? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

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.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
