How our corporate paella catering works in Whitehill
Pans and serving points are planned around your schedule, so even a big team eats quickly. We’re often asked to cater away days and office lunches and launches and open days, with canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
For rural venues near Whitehill, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. In Whitehill, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Common questions in Whitehill
Is Whitehill close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Whitehill?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What else we do in Whitehill
What affects the price in Whitehill

- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many courses

Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For event organisers in Whitehill
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
We leave the space as we found it.
