About our corporate paella catering in Brabourne
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. Whether it’s launches and open days and client and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts.
For rural venues near Brabourne, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. December events in Brabourne are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

What else we do in Brabourne
Brabourne: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Brabourne for guests?
Westenhanger station, about 3.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

Is live paella right for your work event?
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- A quote that spells everything out
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Fast service from the pan
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
