How our corporate paella catering works in West Molesey

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Crockery and staff can be added.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a Christmas party in West Molesey, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
