About our corporate paella catering in Lower Higham
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. Whether it is away days and office lunches and company summer parties, we can cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food for your guests.
Team away days in the countryside around Lower Higham suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
FAQs for Lower Higham
Is Lower Higham close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Higham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.

How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. December events in Lower Higham are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
