How our corporate paella catering works in Horns Green
Bowl food, canapé tapas and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. We’re frequently asked to cater company summer parties and team lunches, with vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
An away day near Horns Green is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Common questions in Horns Green
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Horns Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will check with your facilities team.

That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Why choose live paella in Horns Green?
