Live corporate paella catering in Wanborough
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. In Wanborough, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

How our corporate paella catering works in Wanborough
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. We’re frequently asked to cater charity days and product launches and open days, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
An away day near Wanborough is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Wanborough questions
Is Wanborough close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Wanborough?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
