Corporate paella catering for your work event in Whiteley Village
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer parties for staff and charity and fundraising events.
An away day near Whiteley Village is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Whiteley Village
What’s the nearest station to Whiteley Village for guests?
The closest is Weybridge station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Could we have live paella in West End Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
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.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.

For a Christmas party in Whiteley Village, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
