How our corporate paella catering works in Kemsley Street
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event. Whether it’s summer parties for staff and client and customer events, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around Kemsley Street suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
What affects the price in Kemsley Street
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we’re needed on site
- Guest numbers
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- What the venue already provides
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why Kemsley Street hosts choose us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Kemsley Street: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Kemsley Street?
Rainham (Kent) station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Kemsley Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will confirm with facilities.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
