About corporate paella catering in Kent

Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. We’re frequently asked to cater product launches and open days and conferences and training days, serving paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Parts of Kent are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events. 219 of the places we cover in Kent are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always plan shelter from the wind, and seafood paella is popular.

For event organisers in Kent

Organising a club, school or community event in Kent? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Should I cook it myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

FAQs for Kent

Do you cook at offices in central London?

Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will check with your facilities team.

Do you cook inside?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Can you cook in the rain?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.

Do you do starters?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

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.

What paperwork do you have?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.
