About our corporate paella catering in Brockham
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. For end-of-year celebrations and away days and office lunches, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and bowl food and more.
An away day near Brockham is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. After-work summer parties in Brockham have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Brockham? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
