Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book 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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Bidborough for staff parties and team days
Bidborough is about 3 miles north-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. We bring corporate paella catering to gardens, halls and venues around Bidborough and nearby villages. Bidborough is one of 922 places in Kent where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Bidborough to London (27 miles away).
Central London is about 27 miles from Bidborough, so it’s a practical spot for away days and team events. Nearby historic houses include Penshurst Place (2.3 miles west) and Groombridge Place (4.1 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for caterers.
We cover work events in every part of TN3 and TN4. From High Street, Rectory Drive and Glebelands or a nearby road, we’ll bring the pans to you. If your venue is just outside Bidborough, we also cover Stockland Green (1 mile south), Printstile (1 mile west), Southborough (1 mile south-east), Speldhurst (1 mile south-west) and Lower Haysden (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (14 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (8 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (3 miles south-east), Tonbridge (3 miles north-east), Kings Hill (10 miles north-east) and Foley Park (15 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (1.7 miles north-east) and Tonbridge Castle (2.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Tudeley Woods RSPB reserve and Barden Lake.
- Local schools include St Gregory's Catholic School (1.6 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include The Beehive Public House (0.7 miles south-east)
For event organisers in Bidborough
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Bidborough have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
