Corporate paella catering in Chelsfield, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Typical bookings include summer parties for staff and team days, with vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
In Chelsfield, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Chelsfield: your questions answered
What about parking in Chelsfield?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Chelsfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
