Your questions about corporate paella catering in Burmarsh
Do you come out to small places like Burmarsh?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
About our corporate paella catering in Burmarsh
At client events, presentation counts: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. Popular choices include canapé tapas, bowl food and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising events and team-building days.
An away day near Burmarsh is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Perfect for your work event in Burmarsh
It suits summer parties especially well, paired with lawn games and music.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Team lunches
- Conference lunches
- Launches and open days
- Charity days
Central London is about 57 miles from Burmarsh, which makes it handy for team days out of the city.

Before you choose a spot

- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager

How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. In Burmarsh, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- 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 clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
How to get a price
