Corporate paella catering in Eastwood, cooked live
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events. We are frequently asked to cater summer staff parties and team days, with vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
An away day near Eastwood is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Planning the cooking area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Eastwood questions
Is Eastwood close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Eastwood?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Think about shade and seating
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
The cooking area stays tidy.

Eastwood for staff parties and team days
Eastwood is about 7 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Eastwood to the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Eastwood to Canterbury (19 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (3.4 miles north-west) and Stoneacre (4.9 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers. Eastwood is about 38 miles from central London, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 5 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
Here we cover the ME17 postcode area. For work events just outside Eastwood, we cover Broadstone (1 mile south-east), Grafty Green (1 mile east), Ulcombe (1 mile north-west), Fairbourne Heath (1 mile north) and Liverton Street (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (7 miles north-west), Ashford (10 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north), Faversham (12 miles north-east), Kings Hill (12 miles north-west) and Davington (12 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include The Dog Collar Museum (3.2 miles north-west) and Coldbridge Castle (1.6 miles east).
- Pubs nearby include The Provender Public House (0.5 miles west)
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of where we’d cook
