About our corporate paella catering in Maresfield
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and product launches and open days, serving canapé tapas, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella.

Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Maresfield, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Questions from Maresfield
Can you cook in West Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
