Corporate paella catering in Littlebourne, made fresh on the day

Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater team-building events and charity days.

At country venues around Littlebourne, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Work events in Littlebourne: access and travel

Littlebourne is about 4 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. From the centre of Littlebourne to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cook in all 922 towns and villages in Kent.

Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (3.5 miles south-east). For a client event at a historic house or estate, ask early about catering rules and where cooking is allowed. For staff and clients coming by train, the nearest station is Bekesbourne station, about 1.5 miles south-west.

Here we cover the CT3 postcode area, so your work event can be anywhere in it. That could mean a work event in a garden on Church Road, High Street and Jubilee Road. We also cook at work events in Ickham (1 mile east), Wickhambreaux (1 mile north-east), Seaton (1 mile north-east), Bramling (1 mile south-east) and Bekesbourne (2 miles south).

What happens on the day

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks.

  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.

Littlebourne: your questions answered

Is Littlebourne 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 Littlebourne?

Bekesbourne station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.

How long do you need on site?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Let us know what’s required, and we will provide it.

Do you do vegan paella?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Do you do starters?

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

For event organisers in Littlebourne

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

What affects the price in Littlebourne

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • How many courses
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How many guests are eating
  • Travel, parking and access

The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • The address or venue name
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • The courses you’d like
  • Diets and allergies you know about

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
