About our corporate paella catering in Goddington
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. Typical bookings include conference lunches and launches and open days, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Goddington
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station should guests use for Goddington?
The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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 happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Live cooking, not reheated food

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
