Corporate paella catering for your work event in Eastling
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. We cook bowl food, paella lunches and Spanish desserts, and we’re often booked for christmas parties and launches and open days.
For rural venues near Eastling, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For a Christmas party in Eastling, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Make sure we can park close by to unload

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
