How our corporate paella catering works in Eridge Green
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Popular choices include bowl food, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re frequently booked for team lunches and charity days.
At country venues around Eridge Green, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
How we price corporate paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- Guest numbers
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Anything your venue supplies
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of where we’d cook
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. After-work summer parties in Eridge Green have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
