Corporate paella catering for your work event in Eythorne
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. On the menu are bowl food, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and we are often booked for open days and launches and summer staff parties.
An away day near Eythorne is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Eythorne, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
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. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Where we can cook in Eythorne
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
