How our corporate paella catering works in Whitsbury
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. We are frequently asked to cater team-building events and team lunches, serving Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
At country venues around Whitsbury, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
What affects the price in Whitsbury
These are the factors that matter most:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we are needed on site
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Whitsbury: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Whitsbury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can staff get involved?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
