How our corporate paella catering works in Mindenhurst
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. On the menu are canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater summer parties for staff and training days and conferences.
An away day near Mindenhurst is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Mindenhurst: your questions answered
Is Mindenhurst close to London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Mindenhurst?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Is live paella right for your work event?
For catering that’s part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
