Corporate paella catering for Bekesbourne events
Corporate paella catering in Bekesbourne, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We cook canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts, and we are often booked for christmas parties and company summer parties.
For rural venues near Bekesbourne, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against 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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Paella compared with other options
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Bekesbourne: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Bekesbourne?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
What paperwork do you have?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Menu ideas
- Paella lunches
- Bowl food
- Vegan & vegetarian pans

Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Get facilities approval early
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Bekesbourne, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Give us a contact for the day
