Corporate paella catering in Hillborough, made fresh on the day
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for product launches and open days and summer staff parties.
Around Hillborough, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Questions from Hillborough
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Hillborough close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Hillborough?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you work in winter?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Work events in Hillborough: access and travel
Hillborough is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. For corporate paella catering in Hillborough, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Hillborough to Canterbury (7 miles away).
Central London is about 55 miles from Hillborough, so it’s a practical spot for away days and team events. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Herne Bay station, about 2.2 miles west. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
Here we cover the CT6 postcode area. Local streets include Manor Road, Puffin Road and Neville Road; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella. Hillborough is on the A299, which makes it straightforward to bring the equipment. For work events just outside Hillborough, we cover Hawthorn (1 mile south-east), Bishopstone (1 mile north), Beltinge (1 mile north-west), Broomfield (1 mile south-west) and Highstead (1 mile south). We also cook in nearby towns such as Canterbury (7 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles east), Ramsgate (11 miles east), Broadstairs (11 miles east), Whitstable (6 miles west) and Deal (14 miles south-east).

- Local pubs include The Huntsman And Horn Public House (0.8 miles south-west)
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
