Corporate paella catering in Iden Green
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Corporate paella catering in Iden Green, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Typical bookings include summer parties for staff and office lunches and away days, serving Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas.
For rural venues near Iden Green, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. After-work summer parties in Iden Green have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Iden Green
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Iden Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a winter event?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
