Corporate paella catering for Coxheath events
Common questions in Coxheath
Could we have live paella in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What’s the nearest station to Coxheath for guests?
The closest is East Farleigh station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cater a winter event?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll explain booking and payment when you enquire.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How our corporate paella catering works in Coxheath
Pans and serving points are planned around your schedule, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. On the menu are paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas and end-of-year parties and summer parties for staff.
Work events near Coxheath might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies

Central London is about 31 miles from Coxheath, so it is a practical spot for away days and team events. Nearby historic houses include Stoneacre (3.7 miles east).

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
