Corporate paella catering for Earnley events

Earnley: your questions answered

Is Earnley too small for live paella?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Is Earnley close to London?

Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

What space do you need to cook?

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

Can you do sangria?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

How far ahead should we book?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.

  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

  • Live cooking, not reheated food

Dishes our guests love

Bowl food

Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing and networking events.

DIY paella versus live catering

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

How it works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Earnley are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

How to prepare

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

How to get a price

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Share the timings for food
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Get facilities approval early

We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

Working with your venue

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Timings and hours
  • Waiting and bar staff

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Where the event is

What we need at the venue

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
