How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. In Woking, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Plan cover in case of rain

- Real theatre, not just catering
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cover Woking and the whole of Surrey

Common questions in Woking
How far is Woking from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook in Hoe Valley Linear Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how we work.
Can staff get involved?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What we need to know
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Perfect for your work event in Woking
It is memorable, in a way a sandwich platter never is.
Live paella suits almost any gathering. People in Woking book us for events such as:
- Office lunches and away days
- Team-building days
- Fundraisers
- Launches and open days
Central London is about 24 miles from Woking, which makes it handy for team days out of the city.
Questions to ask before you book
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- Whether travel is included
- How long the team stays
- If the price includes VAT
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
