Corporate paella catering in Worplesdon, made fresh on the day
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Typical bookings include away days and office lunches and team days, serving canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.
At country venues around Worplesdon, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. December events in Worplesdon are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Leave space around the cooking area
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We adapt if timings change.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
