Planning an event in Brabourne Lees?
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a Christmas party in Brabourne Lees, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

About our corporate paella catering in Brabourne Lees
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. Whether it is charity days and away days and office lunches, we can cook Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella and more.
An away day near Brabourne Lees is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
