Corporate paella catering for your work event in Fenn Street
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We are frequently asked to cater launches and open days and conferences and training days, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas.
For rural venues near Fenn Street, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Fenn Street questions
What’s the nearest station to Fenn Street for guests?
The closest is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Is Fenn Street too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

In Fenn Street, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
