Corporate paella catering for your work event in Weston
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. On the menu are Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater conferences and training days and product launches and open days.
Work events near Weston might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Business events near Weston
Weston is about 2 miles north-east of Hythe, in Southampton. Work events in Weston are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. We cook in 40 places in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
Nearby historic houses include Medieval Merchant's House (1.8 miles north-west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.8 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Sholing station, about 0.8 miles north. With the New Forest National Park within about 6 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Think about shade and seating
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
About the dishes
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
