Corporate paella catering in Welborne, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We’re often asked to cater open days and launches and summer parties for staff, serving paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
At country venues around Welborne, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Welborne: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Welborne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Welborne?
Fareham station, about 1.9 miles south of the centre.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
What documents can you provide?
Send us the venue’s requirements and we’ll respond.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
