About our corporate paella catering in Bethersden

Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Typical bookings include christmas and end-of-year parties and company summer parties, with Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas.

An away day near Bethersden is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Bethersden

Is Bethersden close to London?

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.

What’s the nearest station to Bethersden for guests?

Pluckley station, about 2 miles north of the centre.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.

How long does the paella take?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Do you cater in Bethersden?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Bethersden is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

How does payment work for businesses?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Do you cater at business parks?

Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.

Working with your venue

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

How it works

We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Bethersden, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
