How our corporate paella catering works in Houghton Green
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. We’re frequently asked to cater charity days and conferences and training days, serving canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
An away day near Houghton Green is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Houghton Green questions
Is Houghton Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Houghton Green?
The closest is Rye station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will confirm with facilities.
Where we can cook in Houghton Green
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How we price corporate paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The venue or postcode
- Anything your venue supplies
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
