About our corporate paella catering in Brightling

Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. On the menu are paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts, and we’re often booked for training days and conferences and team-building days.

An away day near Brightling is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot as soon as it is ready. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.

The process

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. After-work summer parties in Brightling have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Name one person we can ask on the day

Getting a price

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
