About our corporate paella catering in Lyminge
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. Whether it’s open days and launches and company summer parties, we can cook Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches for your guests.
Team away days in the countryside around Lyminge suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Why choose live paella in Lyminge?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why choose Love Paella in Lyminge

Lyminge: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Lyminge?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
What paperwork do you have?
Send us the venue’s requirements and we’ll respond.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Lyminge, 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.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
