Corporate paella catering for your work event in Burham
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. We cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re frequently booked for summer parties for staff and product launches and open days.
Team away days in the countryside around Burham suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. In Burham, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets

How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Travel, parking and access
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Get facilities approval early
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Share the timings for food
We leave the space as we found it.
Bowl food for standing events.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Burham
Is Burham too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Burham Marsh?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Medway included. See all areas.
