About our corporate paella catering in Chalksole Green
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Popular choices include paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater product launches and open days and client hospitality.
Team away days in the countryside around Chalksole Green suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Live paella or other catering?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- We cover Chalksole Green and the whole of Kent
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

What affects the price in Chalksole Green
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Expected numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Chalksole Green, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Chalksole Green, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
