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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Farleigh Green questions
Is Farleigh Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Farleigh Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What documents can you provide?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how we work.
How we price corporate paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What the venue already provides
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Farleigh Green, it is 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 choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a level space ready for the pans
Getting a price
