Corporate paella catering in Bridge, made fresh on the day
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Whether it is team-building days and launches and open days, we can cook bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Bridge suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. 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.
Why book with us
- Events in Bridge and across Kent
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
