Corporate paella catering in Winsor, cooked live

For rural venues near Winsor, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Why choose live paella in Winsor?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Planning help
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Drinks service
- Bowl food
- Canapé tapas
- Paella lunches
- Desserts
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Get facilities approval early
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

Winsor questions
Is Winsor too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
