Corporate paella catering in Dymchurch, cooked live

Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
