Working with your venue

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Hosting 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.

DIY paella versus live catering

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Kingsnorth

Could we have live paella in Ashford Green Corridors?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Which station should guests use for Kingsnorth?

Ashford International station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.

Do you work in winter?

Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.

Can you bring crockery?

Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Kingsnorth?

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

Is it really cooked live?

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

Do you cover Kingsnorth?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Kingsnorth and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for every diet

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:

  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Get facilities approval early

If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.

Why choose live paella in Kingsnorth?

Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Why Kingsnorth hosts choose us

  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Sangria and bar staff available

See Our pricing Or The cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What we need to know

The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • What the venue already provides
  • The address or venue name
  • Diets and allergies you know about

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.

The process

We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. In Kingsnorth, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

Ask for a quote
