Corporate paella catering for Mayfield events
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Mayfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
How to get a price
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Mayfield
Do you come out to small places like Mayfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Do you come to Mayfield?
We do. Mayfield is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We serve at the agreed time, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
