Corporate paella catering for Way events
About our corporate paella catering in Way
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events. Whether it is fundraisers and client and customer events, we can cook canapé tapas, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Team away days in the countryside around Way suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why Way hosts choose us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Drinks service on request

Way questions
Do you come out to small places like Way?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Way from London?
About 62 miles from central London.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
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.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

What affects the price in Way
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Which courses you have in mind
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Way? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in Way, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
