Corporate paella catering for your work event in Henley Street
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Whether it’s office lunches and away days and conferences and training days, we will put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and bowl food and more.
At country venues around Henley Street, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Get facilities approval early
- Think about shade and seating
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Bowl food for standing events.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Questions from Henley Street
Which station should guests use for Henley Street?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could we have live paella in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you come to Henley Street?
We do. We cook at events in Henley Street and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Henley Street are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Check the venue allows live cooking
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- Waiting and bar staff
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The courses you’d like
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
