About our corporate paella catering in Kenardington
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We are often asked to cater open days and launches and end-of-year celebrations, with bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas.
At country venues around Kenardington, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
How we price corporate paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and unloading
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many courses
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your work event, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What you get with us
- Fast service from the pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For a Christmas party in Kenardington, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
