Corporate paella catering for your work event in Clap Hill
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Whether it’s team lunches and fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Clap Hill suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Clap Hill questions
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Clap Hill, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or 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
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
