Corporate paella catering in Brighton, cooked live
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Whether it’s team lunches and charity days, we can cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and bowl food and more.
For a staff party or client event in Brighton, a venue with outdoor space works well. Let us know about parking and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd, with every diet covered.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Brighton, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for caterers. Central London is about 46 miles from Brighton, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. With the South Downs National Park within about 7 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

How we price corporate paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, parking and access
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

Brighton questions
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. Find your area.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.
