Corporate paella catering in Chiddingstone Hoath, made fresh on the day
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. We cook bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we are frequently booked for summer parties for staff and end-of-year celebrations.
At country venues around Chiddingstone Hoath, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
