Corporate paella catering in Waterlooville
Corporate paella catering in Waterlooville, made fresh on the day
For client events, presentation matters: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. We cook Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we’re often booked for charity days and training days and conferences.
In Waterlooville, team events tend to be at the office or a local venue. Live paella feeds the team quickly and suits every diet. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Should I cook it 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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Where we can cook in Waterlooville
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Facilities approval and any site rules

Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
