Corporate paella catering in Birchington

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Birchington

At client events, presentation counts: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. On the menu are bowl food, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and we’re frequently booked for team days and conference lunches.

Work events near Birchington might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Paella suits all of them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Birchington

What about events near the coast?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

How far is Birchington from London?

Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

Can you do a team-building activity?

Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Birchington?

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

Where do you cater?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Can you cater for children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.

Before you choose a spot

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Popular choices

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Share the timings for food
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form

We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

For event organisers in Birchington

How we price corporate paella catering

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • The number of people
  • Parking and unloading
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Whether you need crockery

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The date and rough timings
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Why choose Love Paella in Birchington

  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment

What happens on the day

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. For a Christmas party in Birchington, 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. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
