About our corporate paella catering in Eastry
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater product launches and open days and training days and conferences.
Teams near Eastry frequently go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we’re needed on site
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
