About our corporate paella catering in East Stourmouth
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and launches and charity days.
An away day near East Stourmouth is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How the day works

After-work summer parties in East Stourmouth have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
