How our corporate paella catering works in Lullingstone
Live paella makes lunch an activity. We cook paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and we are regularly asked to cater team-building events and open days and launches.
An away day near Lullingstone is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Lullingstone, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
