Corporate paella catering near Higham
How our corporate paella catering works in Higham
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. For team-building days and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
For rural venues near Higham, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- We cover Higham and the whole of Medway
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
Where we can cook in Higham

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
What affects the price in Higham
These are the factors that matter most:
- The paellas you choose
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Questions from Higham
Which station should guests use for Higham?
The closest is Higham station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Is Higham close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Can staff get involved?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll see what works.
